Odesa, Ukraine — There was developing worry on Monday that the continuous conflict in Ukraine could prompt serious harm at Europe's biggest thermal energy station. As CBS News senior unfamiliar journalist Charlie D'Agata reports, Ukraine and Russia blame each other for shelling the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station — a rambling office on Russian involved ground that keeps on working as the conflict seethes around it.

Russian crisis administrations delivered pictures of harm around the plant after the two sides exchanged new allegations of shelling the compound.

Russian information agencies cited the Moscow-upheld rebels who control the area as announcing Ukrainian forces had fired on the shells.

Russian or Russian-upheld powers have controlled the atomic plant for the vast majority of the last year, and Energoatom said the soldiers based at the office took cover in shelters before the shells struck on Saturday.

Shelling around Zaporizhzhia was only one illustration of Russia's continuous elevated attack in the midst of furious fights between Ukraine's military and Moscow's attacking powers. As D'Agata reports, many towns along the forefronts in southeast Ukraine were hit throughout the end of the week.

Russian rockets and gunnery beat the city of Mykolaiv, southwest of the nuclear plant and just north of Ukraine's critical Black Sea ports. Regardless of the engaging, more ships passing basic food supplies have sorted out how on to leave those ports, including from the city of Odesa.

As of Monday around 10 extra boats had been cleared to voyage, yet as D'Agata reports, there's an excess of around 20 million tons of grain waiting to-be conveyed under the protection of an agreement struck last month among Russia and Ukraine.

While the slow, however so-far-regular circulation of ships chips away at that backlog to get the meals out to the world, Ukraine's farmers in front-line cities and villages are setting their lives on the road to reap this year's crops. united states of america or Russian-upheld powers have managed the atomic plant for the sizeable majority of the remaining year, and Energoatom stated the infantrymen primarily based totally on the workplace took cowl in shelters earlier than the shells struck on Saturday.

D'Agata expresses that while the back-and-forth over the nation's grain might have moved in support of Ukraine right now with the settlement on trades, notwithstanding the spilling over storehouses at the ports, millions additional lots of wheat, corn and other food staples are as yet heaping onto ranches in the locale.

Third era rancher Yurri Yalovchuk let CBS News know that assuming the grain bargain breakdowns, so too will his homestead only north of Odesa.

"We don't have a lot of confidence in Russians," he told D'Agata. "They can hit the grain ships with a rocket all of a sudden."
