Islamabad: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday urged European leaders to “wake up” as the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in the continent, is on fire, while also appealing for “immediate action” against Russia.
He appealed to all Ukrainians,all Europeans and all peoples who know the word “Chernobyl”. Who know how many grief and casualties the explosion at the nuclear power plant caused. It was a global catastrophe. Hundreds of thousands of people struggled with its consequences. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated. Russia wants to do it again. And already repeats. But six times more!
He said that “Europeans! Wake up, please! Speak to your politicians! Russian troops are firing upon the nuclear power plant in Ukraine. Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the city of Energodar”. There are six power units. Six! One power unit exploded in Chernobyl.
President said that “we contacted the leaders, our partners. I talked to Charles Michel, to Scholz, I talked to Duda, I talked to President Biden. We contacted IAEA Director General Grossi and Prime Minister Johnson. We warn everyone”.
He said No state, except Russia, has ever fired upon nuclear power units. For the first time in our history, in the history of mankind, the terrorist state has resorted to nuclear terror.
Russian propagandists threatened everyone, we remember, to cover the world with nuclear ashes. Now it’s not a threat, now it’s a reality.
We do not know how the fire at the station will end. When there will be or won’t be an explosion, – no one can predict this for sure. But our men have always kept the nuclear power plant safe, so that there are no provocations, so that no one can capture the station, mine it and then blackmail the whole world with a nuclear catastrophe.
The Russian military must be stopped immediately! Shout to your politicians. Ukraine has 15 nuclear units. If there is an explosion, it is the end of everything. The end of Europe. This is the evacuation of Europe. Only immediate European action can stop Russian troops. Do not allow the death of Europe from the catastrophe at the nuclear power plant.
