Enerhodar nuclear plant barricaded by civilians with tyres and lorries as Russian troops approach

Footage has emerged of crowds of Ukrainian civilians blocking access to a nuclear plant as Russian troops move in.

The city of Enerhodar, located on the banks of the Dnieper River, in the southeast of Ukraine, is home to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest nuclear plant in Europe.

In videos widely circulated on social media, a crowd of hundreds of people can be seen blocking the road to the plant, while heaps of tyres and sandbags can be seen across the road to stop any vehicle access.
