UN Secretary General Guterres: "I remain gravely concerned about the situation in and around the Zaporizhzhia plant."
“I remain gravely concerned about the situation in and around the Zaporizhzhya plant, including reports of recent showing. Let's tell it like it is. Any damage whether intentional or not to Europe's largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhya or to any other nuclear facility in Ukraine could spell catastrophe, not only for the immediate vicinity, but for the region and beyond. All steps must be taken to avoid such a scenario. Common sense and cooperation must guide the way forward. Any action that might endanger the physical Integrity, safety or security of the nuclear plant is unacceptable. All efforts to re-establish the plants as purely civilian infrastructure are vital. As the first step, Russian and Ukrainian forces must commit not to engage in any military activity towards the plant site or from the plant site. Zaporizhzhya facility and the surroundings must not be a target or a platform for military operations.”
