The Minister of the Interior of Ukraine said on Thursday that Ukraine must be prepared for any scenario in the Zaporizhhia nuclear power plant controlled by Russia that has been fired, including evacuating people from the area.
Local Ukraine and Russian officials who were installed blamed each other for new volleyball on Thursday at the largest nuclear-nuclear power plant in Europe-located in South Ukraine.
Russia seized the largest nuclear power plant in Europe in March after attacking Ukraine on February 24. This plant was still carried out by Ukraine and Energoatom Ukraine technicians said the area was beaten five times on Thursday, including near the site where radioactive materials were stored.
“The plant is not only in the hands of the enemy, but in the hands of uneducated specialists who have the potential to allow tragedies to occur,” Minister of Home Affairs Denyy Monastyrsky told Reuters in an interview.
Of course, it is difficult to imagine the tragedy scale that can apply if Russia continues their actions there,” he said.
Ukraine in the last few days warned the risk of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster.
“This means to us that … we must prepare any scenario. State emergency services together with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Regional Ministry are discussing various necessary scenarios, including evacuation questions,” said Mr. Monastyrsky.
US head encouragement for the demilitarization zone
US Head Antonio Guterres on Thursday called for military activity around the Zaporizhhia nuclear power complex to end. He urged the withdrawal of military personnel and equipment and no more troops or equipment to be mobilized. He called for Russia and Ukraine not to target facilities or surrounding areas.
“Facilities should not be used as part of any military operation. Conversely, an urgent agreement is needed at the technical level of safe demilitarization perimeters to ensure the safety of the region, “said Mr. Guterres in a statement.
The United States also supports the call for demilitarization zones around Zaporizhzhia, a spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs on Thursday.
