There are growing fears at the Chernobyl nuclear plant amid reports that staff are being ‘held hostage’ by Russian soldiers.
Yuri Formichev, mayor of the nearby town of Slavutych, warned of a ‘complete catastrophe’ as food and fuel supplies come close to running out, the Mirror reports.
Russian forces have been in control of the plant, just north of the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, since the early days of invasion.
