On March 9, due to the actions of the Russian occupiers, the Chornobyl nuclear power plant was left without electricity.

The fighting continues, which currently makes it impossible to repair and restore power. The city of Slavutych is also without electricity.

Nuclear material monitoring systems of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant have stopped transmitting data to the IAEA.

Subsequently, the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, which was blacked out due to the actions of Russian troops, was connected to reserve diesel generators, which will provide power for 48 hours.

Ukrenergo has stated that it is ready to immediately start repairing the Chornobyl power supply line; it is only waiting for the "green corridor."
