Zelenskiy says Russia deliberately struck nuclear-fuel storage facility in 'extremely vile' attack

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday that Russia deliberately struck a nuclear-fuel storage facility near Ukraine's Chornobyl power plant in an "extremely vile" attack.

"Today, the Russians again struck the special territory around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. A 'shahed' hit one of the buildings of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility," he wrote on X, referring to a common Russian attack drone.

"An extremely critical infrastructure facility – and an extremely vile Russian strike."
