The New York Times reported that a video captured from inside the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant shows a warning to Russian soldiers as it was being captured.
The Times obtained the video from a source with ties to the local government and verified it using archival videos and photographs of the plant.
A voice can be heard saying "Stop firing at the nuclear facility" in Russian. Cease firing immediately. You are putting the safety of the world at risk. The operation of a crucial part of the plant could be damaged. We won't be able to restore it.
The clock in the video shows the approximate time of the attack.
