Nuclear power plant by decree under Russian administration
The city of Zaporizhia, controlled by Ukrainian units, is located in the region of the same name, which is also home to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant. Moscow annexed the region earlier this week, although it is not completely under Russian forces. By decree, Russian President Vladimir Putin also placed the nuclear power plant under Russian administration on Wednesday.
