The CEO of Ukraine's electric company was dismissed amid allegations of political interference and following a Russian attack on the power grid. The firing has sparked a political dispute over the energy sector, leading to resignations and potential consequences for the country's power system. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Europe's largest, faced increased risks after Russian shelling damaged power lines. The ongoing damage to energy infrastructure has resulted in widespread blackouts and shortages of alternative power sources. The situation has raised concerns about the potential for a nuclear accident, prompting international assistance efforts.
