Nuclear catastrophe was 'narrowly averted' after Russia's attack on Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, the US envoy to the UN said as the invasion of Ukraine intensified on Friday (March 4).
Speaking at an emergency meeting of the UN security council in New York on Friday, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said Friday morning's attack which caused a major fire at the Zaporizhzhia complex, was 'incredibly reckless and dangerous'.
"It threatened the safety of civilians across Russia, Ukraine and Europe', she added.
