There is a risk of a "new Cold War" and that "a new Iron Curtain will descend upon Europe", the Defence Secretary has warned. Ben Wallace said Russian President Vladimir Putin was "playing with fire" by attacking the Zaporizhzhia nuclear site in Ukraine - a move Western officials deemed unprecedented.
Officials said the site was now likely to be under Russian control but with Ukrainian staff still on the ground to maintain safety.
Speaking at a press conference in Copenhagen, Mr Wallace said the move was "incredibly dangerous".
"It's not just dangerous for Ukraine and Russia, it's dangerous for Europe, and it is playing with fire that really is beyond anything that has to do with logic or necessity," he said.
