London: The United Kingdom has called UN Security Council meeting after Russian forces last night attacked the largest nuclear power station in Europe.

We support the work of the IAEA in Ukraine,” Ambassador Barbara Woodward said at the United Nations Security Council Meeting on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station.
