‘Russia has destroyed almost all of Ukraine’s thermal generation, putting nuclear power plants at risk’, – Zelensky said

Russia has already destroyed almost all of Ukraine’s thermal power generation. Ukrainian nuclear power plants are under threat of attack by Russia.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported this during a special meeting of the European Council.

“Under the terrorists’ attacks are dams and hydroelectric equipment, as well as gas infrastructure. We also see that Russia is not refraining from nuclear blackmail and, in particular, continues to recklessly play with the safety of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. We do not exclude that the infrastructure of other nuclear power plants and distribution networks are also under threat from Russian terrorism,” the president said.

As usual, Zelensky calls on countries to provide even more air defense funds.

“Only air defense systems can stop this – specific systems such as ‘Patriot,’ ‘Iris-T,’ ‘Samp-T,’ Nasams. Systems that you have. Ukraine needs them right now – they are needed to prevent Putin from using terrorist methods,” he said.
