The Russian Ministry of Defense made the announcement on February 28 that their forces had taken control of the city of Enerhodar as well as the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

[3] Nevertheless, Dmytro Orlov, the mayor of Enerhodar, vehemently refuted reports that the city and the power plant had been taken over.
[4] Later on, residents in the area blocked the road leading to the facility as well as the entrance to the city, which caused the Russian soldiers to retreat.

On March 1st, Ukrainian officials said that Russian forces had surrounded the city, and that about 2:00 pm, a Russian convoy was heading into Enerhodar.
[7]
[8] Orlov claims that there were challenges in the city's ability to acquire food. [7] In the evening, people of the area staged a demonstration, which prevented Russian forces from entering the city. [8]
Orlov said that Russian troops were once more approaching the city on the morning of March 2nd, and he said this.
[9] There was another instance of protesters blocking the roadways; this time, protesters utilized garbage trucks as part of their blockage and carried Ukrainian flags with them.
[10] According to statements made by Orlov to Ukrinform, the incident in which Russian soldiers are said to have thrown grenades into a gathering of civilians resulted in the injury of two persons. [11] [12] [13] [dubious – discuss] At six o'clock in the evening, there were approximately two hundred citizens and personnel from the power plant participating in the demonstration. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, claimed that the IAEA had been notified by Russian authorities that Russian forces were in possession of the land around the nuclear power plant. This information was provided to the IAEA by the Russian government. [10]
On March 3, 2022, around 11:28 pm local time, a column of ten Russian armored vehicles and two tanks slowly approached the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The column was led by a Russian officer.
[14]
[15]
[16] The conflict broke out at 12:48 a.m. on March 4 when Ukrainian forces fired anti-tank missiles at the tanks that were leading the column. Russian forces retaliated with a range of weaponry, including rocket-propelled grenades, in an attempt to stop the Ukrainian forces. [15] After that, Russian forces moved into the parking area next to the front gate. The majority of the Russian fire was aimed against the main administrative building and the training facility, although Russian forces also fired heavy weapons many times in the direction of the reactor buildings. [15] During the course of the intense firefighting that lasted for roughly two hours, a fire broke out at a training facility that was located outside of the main complex. The fire was brought under control by 6:20 in the morning,[17][18] although other areas surrounding the plant were damaged. [15] In the later hours of that day, the IAEA provided confirmation that the plant's safety systems had not been compromised and that there had been no discharge of radioactive material. [19]
Enerhodar was also taken control of by Russian forces once they entered the city.
[20]
[21] According to Orlov, the conflict caused the city to lose its supply of heat, which was a significant setback.
