French President Emmanuel Macron expresses alarm over nuclear security risks in Ukraine after Europe’s largest atomic power plant was attacked and seized by invading Russian forces.

Macron is “extremely worried about the risks to nuclear safety, security, and the implementation of international safeguards resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine,” the French presidency says in a statement.

It adds that France would in the next hours propose “concrete measures” to ensure the safety and security of the five main nuclear sites in Ukraine after the seizure of the Zaporizhzhia plant by Russian forces.
