The Russians have military and logistical control over it. And they are using it as a missile launching shield by placing heavy weapons and missile launchers there to Attack Ukraine unmercifully.
Ukraine cannot attack these missile and heavy gun emplacements for fear of creating another Chernobyl.
On top of this Russia is doing a false flag operation of sending mortars into parts of the nuclear power plant where it should not damage it too much and create a nuclear meltdown.
So, this is a game of chicken being presently played by Russia upon Ukraine and the world at this point.
However, the problem with all of this is Ukraine cannot allow immunity to all these weapons, missiles and heavy long range guns pummeling their military and domestic locations everywhere in range indefinitely.
So, Ukraine is being put between a rock and a hard place by Russia in this way.
Also, I don't think Putin cares at all whether this power plant becomes another Chernobyl (actually worse than Chernobyl because if it went, Russia would likely prevent anyone from covering it over with cement like Chernobyl by shooting anyone who tried to stop the radiation. So ,this is an ongoing problem likely to become much much worse during the "FOG OF WAR".
So, in this game Russia sort of wins no matter what happens regarding it's propaganda war against Ukraine.
So, let's see how Ukraine handles this mess without creating another Chernobyl?
Also, creating an unstoppable Chernobyl actually might be seen to Putin's advantage because if any Ukrainians stayed in Ukraine they would be sure to eventually die (or shorten their lives in miserable ways) if they stayed anywhere downwind or wherever underground water flows or above ground water flows from that nuclear power plant ongoing.
So, you might have 100 miles in diameter completely unoccupied around this nuclear power plant so people won't die in all directions around this nuclear power plant if it goes Chernobyl and then Russia shoots anyone who tries to cover it over with cement also.
If you take the The Zaporizhzhia plant and draw a line out about 100 miles in every direction, this is about how far people might need to be away from this plant if it melted down and wasn't covered over with cement because Russia shot all the people trying to do that.
Here's a map of Ukraine from 1993 that might be helpful to see this:
