Everything you need to know right now about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in a nutshell.
– The Russian Army has taken control of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, after launching an attack that has caused a fire in the facilities. The Russian attack has caused a world shock and inevitably the specter of nuclear tragedies such as Chernobyl and Fukushima has risen.

In the event that a missile hit any of these plants, the consequences would already be impossible to foresee.
– NATO has refused to apply a no-fly zone in Ukraine, because this would provoke a “total war” in Europe. “We have made it clear that we are not going to enter Ukraine, with troops or with planes in the airspace. The only way to implement an exclusion zone is to send NATO planes and impose it by shooting down Russian planes,” the secretary general warned. of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg.
