Russia allegedly intends to launch assaults on Ukraine's nuclear power facilities, as stated by President Zelensky.
Zelensky told the UN gathering, "radiation doesn't recognize international boundaries."
He pointed out that since Russia can't triumph over our people's resistance on the battlefield, Russian President Vladimir Putin is searching for alternate methods to crush Ukrainian resolve.
For the third consecutive winter, Russia is intensifying its attacks on Ukraine's power grid, aiming to keep Ukrainians in the "dark and frozen," Zelensky mentioned.
Zelensky's speech to the UN was shortly followed by a meeting with United States President Joe Biden, where they were set to discuss Zelensky's "win strategy," which may include Ukraine's long-standing request to utilize long-range missiles to hit military targets within Russia.
In his speech, Zelensky brought up the "chilling" moment early in the conflict when Russian attacks on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), Europe's largest, caused concern among Ukrainians of another Chernobyl-like disaster.
"Nobody could predict the outcome of Russian attacks on the nuclear facility, and every Ukrainian was reminded of what Chernobyl symbolizes," he said.
Two and a half years later, Zelensky warned that the ZNPP continues to be "threatened by a nuclear incident."
This is an evolving situation and will be updated.
Despite Russia's attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure, the global community continues to stand in solidarity with Ukraine. The situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, being Europe's largest, poses a significant threat to the world's nuclear safety.
