Russia is calling for the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to hold a meeting on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant on Tuesday.

This comes as the sense of dread deepened Tuesday in Ukraine because of warnings that Russia may try to spoil the country's Independence Day holiday and mark the war's six-month point with intensified attacks.
