Zelenskyy warns of nuclear sabotage
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned of safety risks around the Russian-controlled Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe. “Unfortunately, the world’s public attention to the existing Russian threat at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant is still insufficient,” complained Zelenskyy.
Ukraine’s Western partners have received all available intelligence information about Russia’s plans for the nuclear power plant. “We have to take very concrete measures, all together in the world, to avoid any radiation incident,” he warned, referring to possible sabotage of the facilities by the Russian occupiers.
