"Russia once again set a record in world history of terrorism": Zelenskyy on the latest shelling of Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Russia is using the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP) as blackmail to impose its conditions, and only the plant's liberation from Russian troops can guarantee security for Europe.
He talked about this during the evening video address.
"Russia has once again set a record in the world history of terrorism. No one else has used a nuclear plant so obviously to threaten the whole world and to put forward some conditions. And absolutely everyone in the world must react immediately to expel the occupiers from the territory of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. This is a global interest, and not just a Ukrainian need. We emphasize this at all levels – from the UN Security Council to contacts between states," Zelenskyy said
According to the president, it will be possible to guarantee security for European countries only if the nuclear power plant is under the control of Ukraine.
"Only the complete withdrawal of the Russians from the territory of the Zaporizhzhia NPP and the restoration of Ukraine's full control over the situation around the plant will guarantee the restoration of nuclear safety for the whole of Europe," he added.
