Russia now poses threat to world nuclear security — Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine
On February 24, 2022, the international community was once again convinced that the totalitarian regimes that were the Soviet Union and now the Russian Federation pose a threat to the nuclear safety of the world, the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine said in a commentary on the 36th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster.
“The Russian armed forces carried out a cynical and brutal military invasion, followed by the seizure of the territory of the exclusion zone and the industrial site of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The capture of the Chornobyl NPP and the occupation of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest one in Europe, once again put the world under the threat of a nuclear catastrophe. This danger is still real because of disordered rocket attacks and bombings resorted to by the aggressor country on the territory of Ukraine,” the commentary emphasizes.
