Officials say radiation levels are normal as Russian forces are currently in control of the plant.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, a fire that broke out during the siege of the power plant is now extinguished. The fire was contained to the facility\u2019s training center and did not reach any of the six nuclear reactors.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the active situation amid reports that Russian troops were attacking from all sides and posing a direct nuclear threat. He warned if President Vladimir Putin moved forward with bombing the nuclear plant, the effect would be 10-times larger than Chernobyl. He asserted it would be \u201cthe end for everyone and the end of Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"uk\" dir=\"ltr\">\u0422\u0435\u0440\u043c\u0456\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MuXfniddVT\">pic.twitter.com\/MuXfniddVT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u0412\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0434\u0438\u043c\u0438\u0440 \u0417\u0435\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u0439 (@ZelenskyyUa) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZelenskyyUa\/status\/1499574413095751683?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 4, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced it will provide temporary immigration relief to citizens of Ukraine.
