Quote: “Last night, a Russian attack drone armed with a high-explosive incendiary warhead struck the shelter that shields the world from the radiation of the destroyed Unit No 4 at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
This shelter was constructed by Ukraine in cooperation with European countries, the world at large and the United States – by all those who seek true safety for people. The only nation in the world capable of attacking such facilities, occupying the territory of nuclear power plants and waging hostilities with total disregard for the consequences is today’s Russia. This poses a terrorist threat to the entire world.”
Details: Zelenskyy noted that the shelter at the Chornobyl NPP had been damaged by the drone strike. A fire caused by the attack has been extinguished. The radiation levels have not increased and they are constantly being monitored. Early estimates suggest that the damage to the shelter is significant, he added.
