Ukraine says it has resumed the power supply to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after it was seized by Russian forces in February, energy officials in Kyiv said Sunday.

A broken power line at the site was reportedly restored at 18:38 CET by the repair personnel of Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s transmission system operator, meaning external electricity supplies to the plant can now be resumed.
