Chaos has broken out close to Europe's largest nuclear power plant after Vladimir Putin ordered the evacuation of 1,600 local residents, including 600 children, and sparked fears of a looming humanitarian crisis.
Yesterday, concerns grew about the safety of the Zaporizhzhia plant when the Moscow-installed governor of the Zaporizhzhia plant ordered civilian evacuations, including from the city where most plant workers live.
Mayor orf Melitopol Ivan Fedorov said the order had led to panic, with five-hour long queues of cars seen piling up at the Crimea checkpoint.
