The article reports that Russia accused Ukraine of carrying out a drone attack on the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant near the Russia-Ukraine border. The attack caused a fire and forced a 50% reduction in the operating capacity of one reactor, but no injuries were reported, and radiation levels<\/a> remained normal according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The IAEA emphasized the importance of protecting all nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n

Both Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for attacks on the zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant,the largest in Europe,currently under Russian control but located in southeastern Ukraine. Despite progress in peace talks, the conflict continues with ongoing missile and drone strikes exchanged between the two countries.<\/p>\n

The attacks coincided with Ukraine’s Independence Day celebrations,during which President Volodymyr Zelensky reaffirmed Ukraine’s determination to maintain its independence and stressed that peace decisions should be made by Ukraine alone. Recent diplomatic efforts include meetings involving Zelensky,former U.S. President Donald Trump, and European leaders aimed at ending the war, although a direct meeting between Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin has not yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Canada continues to support Ukraine, with Canadian prime Minister Mark Carney visiting Ukraine as a symbolic gesture and advocating for peace through strength to deter further Russian aggression.
