"In its official address, the Network's leadership expresses its condolences to Ukrainians in a particularly difficult situation and emphasizes the importance of keeping the warring parties from actions that could jeopardize the safe operation of all nuclear facilities in Ukraine and the safety of nuclear material," SSTC NRS said.
