The ZPPN site appears to ordinarily have 10-days of diesel, which by now must be getting a bit tight. The reactors are shut down because the overall safety situation is too degraded to continue operating. Continued coolant circulation is nececessary, run by diesels if the outside grid feeders go down - which they do continuously due to Russian artillery strikes. The Russians have their own fuel convoy and so are refusing to accept the Ukraine fuel convoy. This is because Russia has declared itself the new owner and legal operator of the ZPPN reactors - the complex of 6 reactors is the largest power station in Europe - as well as annexing the various territories. The Russians are quite simply trying to establish facts on the ground for future lawsuits and/or negotiations.
