The Zaporizhzhia facility, in the southeast, was seized by Russia in the early days of the war and has come under repeated fire in recent weeks. Both sides point the finger at each other for the bombing. The Russian Defense Ministry has claimed Ukraine will stage a “minor accident” and “provocation” – and blame it – to coincide with Antonio Guterres’ visit. The UN chief is due to meet Ukrainian President Zelensky and Turkish President Erdogan on Thursday in the western city of Lviv. The talks will focus on de-escalation efforts, speeding up grain exports and the nuclear situation in Zaporizhia. Mr Guterres called for an end to the fighting near the plant and Igor Kirillov, head of Russia’s chemical and biological defense forces, claimed that back-up systems had already been destroyed by the bombing. He said any accident would mean radioactive material would reach Germany, Slovakia and Poland. The Russian Defense Ministry has also warned that the plant could be shut down if the bombing continues. Ukraine says it is being used as a base to attack from and that Russia’s heavy artillery is positioned in and around the power station – something the Kremlin denies. Kyiv also claims that Russia has struck the facility itself to blame Ukraine for any power outages. Fears of a nuclear situation come as daily deaths from the six-month war continue. Image: President Erdogan will visit Ukraine on Thursday On Wednesday afternoon, seven people were killed and 16 injured in bombings in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, according to emergency services. Another person was killed and 18 others were injured early Thursday in another residential area of ​​the city, district governor Oleh Synehubov said. Meanwhile, in other developments on the battlefield, Ukrainian forces said they killed 29 “invaders” and destroyed artillery, vehicles and a supply depot near Bylochirka, northeast of Kherson – in southern Ukraine. The commander of the Black Sea fleet was “fired”. The commander of Russia’s Black Sea fleet is also reportedly being replaced after a series of explosions in Crimea last week, blamed on saboteurs. Russia’s RIA news agency quoted sources as confirming that Igor Osipov had been ousted and replaced by Viktor Sokolov. If confirmed, it would be one of the most significant firings of the war. It follows Ukraine’s humiliating sinking of the Kremlin’s flagship cruiser, the Moskva, in April. Thursday’s visit by the UN secretary-general and the Turkish president, his first since the war began in February, will hope to make some progress on ideas to end the war. Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovich said the fighting had reached a “strategic stalemate”, with the Russians making “minimal advances” and Ukraine gaining little ground. The crucial issue of boosting grain exports from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports will also be high on the agenda when the three leaders meet. Turkey and the UN helped broker a deal last month to release the 22 million tonnes of corn and other grains that have been stuck since the war began. Developing countries have been hit particularly hard by the resulting supply shortages and high prices. Ships are now leaving Ukrainian ports – with Turkey saying it is the 25th since the UN deal left the port of Chornomorsk on Thursday – but the food crisis continues.
