A desperate plea has been issued after staff at the Chernobyl nuclear plant have reportedly been 'held hostage' at the site by Russian soldiers.
The mayor of a town housing workers at the plant, Yuri Fomichev, warned of a 'complete catastrophe' as food and fuel supplies run out - including emergency generators for back up control of the plant's safety systems, reports said.
Russia has held the site since the first days of the invasion.
