Ukrainian power engineers reconnected the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant to the national grid after nearly three weeks without external power supply, easing reliance on the facility's backup diesel generators. The plant, Europe's largest nuclear facility, has repeatedly lost external power connections during the war, raising international concerns about a potential nuclear accident. The restoration reduces immediate safety risks at the plant, though the facility remains under Russian military control and has faced recurring power disruptions due to shelling and infrastructure damage near the front line in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
