In this edition of World News, TVP World focuses on the developments in and around Europe’s largest nuclear power plant located in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, the unveiling of a new Polish-Slovak pipeline, and how Russians are bypassing European sanctions.

According to the Ukrainian nuclear energy operator, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe has been partially reconnected to the Ukrainian power grid. Just on Thursday, all the lines at the plant were disconnected. The Ukrainian government says that a nuclear disaster was narrowly escaped.
