(ANSA-AFP) - KYIV, FEB 14 - Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelensky said Friday that a Russian drone had struck a cover
built to contain radiation at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant,
adding that "radiation levels have not increased". The Ukrainian
air force said that Russia had launched more than 100 drones
across the country overnight -- including attack drones --
targeting northern regions of the country where the Chernobyl
power plant lies. "Last night, a Russian attack drone with a
high-explosive warhead struck the cover protecting the world
from radiation at the destroyed 4th power unit of the Chernobyl
Nuclear Power Plant," Zelensky said in a social media post. The
comments came just hours before Zelensky was to meet with US
Vice President JD Vance in Germany to lay out Ukraine's case
before a new US administration eager to quickly end the nearly
three-year war. The attack is evidence that Russian President
Vladimir "Putin is definitely not preparing for negotiations --
he is preparing to continue deceiving the world", Zelensky said.
