THE HEAD of Ukraine’s National Security Council says his government is still not fully aware of the situation, including potential threats, inside the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant despite the ongoing inspection by United Nations monitors.
Oleksiy Danilov, a key official in Ukraine’s war effort, appealed for additional international support today to try to demilitarise the area that includes the largest nuclear plant in Europe.
“We do not know what is happening there, whether it is currently mined by the Russians or not,” Mr Danilov said.
“I want to emphasise that this is a challenge for the whole world, how to make this nuclear facility not dangerous. If the world community would work with us on this issue, we would be very grateful.”
Heavy fighting has continued around Zaporizhzhia despite the start of an inspection this week by experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency, who have already warned about the dangers caused by structural damage to the site.
