A Russian drone strike on the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, according to President Zelenskyy, caused significant damage and sparked a fire, though radiation levels remained unaffected. This attack occurred just before the Munich Security Conference, intensifying fears over Ukraine's nuclear safety amidst ongoing military hostilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed no breach to the plant's inner containment. Zelenskyy condemned the strike as evidence of Russia's refusal to negotiate peacefully. The ongoing risks associated with military activities near nuclear sites highlight the precarious situation for Ukraine's nuclear facilities.
The only state in the world that can attack such facilities, occupy the territory of nuclear power plants, and conduct hostilities without any regard for the consequences is today's Russia.
Zelenskyy stated that the Chornobyl strike showed Putin is certainly not preparing for negotiations.
IAEA's director general highlighted persistent nuclear safety risks due to military activity near Ukraine's nuclear plants.
Zelenskyy urged that Russia must be held accountable for the terrorist threat it poses to the world.
