The Ukrainian city of Enerhodar has been at the centre of international attention since Russian troops occupied its nuclear power station in March, shortly after the war began on February 24. The Russian occupation and fears of nuclear disaster have forced thousands of people to flee the city and seek refuge at a centre for displaced persons in Zaporizhzhia. FRANCE 24’s special correspondents Robert Parsons, Pauline Godart and Raid Abu Zaideh went to this centre to meet some of the people there.

For several months, Ukraine and Russia have been accusing each other of launching strikes around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, raising fears that a major accident could occur.
