Fighting breaks out close to Chernobyl nuclear waste facility, says Ukrainian president. Russian soldiers have entered the area surrounding Chernobyl and are trying to seize the former nuclear power plant, the president of Ukraine has said. Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed Ukrainian troops were fighting with the Russian army around the zone, after invading forces arrived from the direction of Belarus. “Russian occupation forces are trying to seize the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Our defenders are giving their lives so that the tragedy of 1986 will not be repeated,” Mr Zelensky said, referring to the explosion of a nuclear reactor which led to radioactive waste spreading across the continent 36 years ago.
