In his televised address on Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky said Moscow is using the Russian-occupied nuclear facility at Zaporizhzhia as a military base from which to stage attacks. Reporting from Kyiv, FRANCE 24’s chief foreign editor Rob Parsons notes that while no independent observers are on-site at Zaporizhzhia to verify Zelensky's claims, “there does seem to be quite a lot of evidence that the Russians are firing from the territory of the base, which allows them to act almost with impunity because the Ukrainians are reluctant to return fire for fear of hitting vital installations" and risking a nuclear accident.
