DNIPRO, Ukraine—United Nations inspectors arrived at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear-power plant on Thursday after crossing the front line between Ukrainian and Russian forces despite intense shelling in the area that the two sides blamed on each other.
The visit is the outcome of months of wrangling over access to Europe’s largest nuclear-power plant, which has been largely closed off from the world since Russian forces seized it in the early days of their invasion of Ukraine. Heavy fighting near the plant has raised international concerns of a potential nuclear accident.
