Report: Russian Military Deploys Heavy Artillery Batteries at Ukrainian Nuclear Plant
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Wall Street Journal reports the Russian military is turning
Ukraine's largest nuclear power plant, Zaporizhzhia, into a military
base by deploying heavy artillery batteries and laying anti-personnel
landmines. Officials say Russia is using the nuclear plant as a base for
its artillery knowing that Ukraine can't attack a nuclear power plant
without risking a nuclear disaster. Zaporizhzhia is the largest nuclear
plant in Europe.
