Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with European leaders and US President Joe Biden about the attack on the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant and called on Europeans to put pressure on their governments.
The President of Ukraine recorded an urgent video address.
"Europe must wake up now. Europe's largest nuclear power plant is on fire. I appeal to everyone who knows the word "Chernobyl." It was a global catastrophe, with hundreds of thousands of people fighting it. They are shelling the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, with 6 power units in Chernobyl.
I spoke with Charles Michel, with Duda, with Scholz, with Biden. We contacted the President of the IAEA and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Johnson.
The terrorist country has fallen back on nuclear terror. No state, except Russia, fired on power units. Russian propagandists threatened to cover the whole world with nuclear ashes. Now it is not a threat.
Ukraine has 15 nuclear units. If there is an explosion, it is the end of everything."
