The Russian army is preparing to attack nuclear energy facilities in Ukraine.
This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha during a joint briefing with the foreign ministers of the Nordic-Baltic Eight countries in Odesa, Ukrinform reports.
‘Russia has complete dominance in the air. We know that they are preparing strikes on our nuclear energy facilities,’ Sybiha said.
In response to the threat from Russia, Ukraine insists on lifting any restrictions on the use of long-range missiles against military targets in Russia.
‘This is our right under the UN Charter as a defending country. This right of self-defence is justified. We need it right now. And I am glad that my colleagues and I are all like-minded,’ the Foreign Minister stressed.
