Zelenskiy says “time to end the Russia-created crisis” at the facility
A picture taken during a visit organised by the Russian military shows a view of the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Enerhodar, southeastern Ukraine earlier this month. It is Europe's biggest nuclear power plant.
The International Atomic Energy Agency , western states and top United Nations officials have called for the creation of a demilitarised zone around the plant, but Russia refuses to withdraw its forces from the site, where Kyiv accuses it of storing heavy weapons and armoured vehicles and firing on Ukrainian positions across the Dnieper river.
“The European Union, Turkey and other states living in the direction that the wind could carry radioactive contamination should definitely not be going into winter with the threat of a radiation disaster,” he added. The firm warned that if electricity lines were damaged again by shelling, the plant would have to rely on back-up diesel generators to power cooling and other vital functions.
