Trudeau calls for stop to attacks on nuclear plant in Ukraine

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is condemning attacks on a major nuclear power plant in Ukraine, saying late Thursday that he had spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about 'the horrific attacks at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.'

Trudeau said late Thursday that he had spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about "the horrific attacks at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant."

"These unacceptable attacks by Russia must cease immediately," Trudeau said on Twitter.

U.S. President Joe Biden also spoke with Zelensky late Thursday about the shelling of the plant in the eastern Ukraine city of Enerhodar.

The assault sparked a fire and raised fears that radiation could leak from the damaged power station.
