Amid repeated shelling, concerns of safety of Ukrainian nuke plant grows
As Russia again accused Ukraine of shelling the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, concerns grew for the safety of the complex which has witnessed repeated shelling in recent days.
An accident at the Ukrainian nuclear plant in Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya would be far worse than the Chernobyl or Fukushima disasters, dpa news agency quoted Yevheny Zymbalyuk, Kiev’s envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as saying in Vienna on Monday.
He warned of severe consequences not only for Ukraine, but all of Europe.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres also warned of the danger of the current situation, saying that “any attack on a nuclear plant is a “suicidal thing”.
