Russia blames Ukraine for ‘use of US weapons’… U.S. counterattacks “withdraw”
Concerns over the safety of Ukraine’s Zaporiza nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, were voiced at the UN Security Council on the 23rd (local time).
At the Security Council emergency meeting on the Zaporiza nuclear power plant held at the UN headquarters in New York on the afternoon of the afternoon, UN Deputy Secretary-General for Political Affairs and Peacebuilding, Rosemary DeKalo, asked Russia and Ukraine to allow safe and expeditious access by IAEA inspectors to Russia and Ukraine. urged
“The IAEA must carry out essential safety and security activities,” said DeKalo, deputy secretary-general of the country.
“It should be made clear that any damage to Zaporiza could lead to the possibility of a nuclear accident with catastrophic consequences,” he said.
We may face destruction,” he added.
DeKalo also called for the withdrawal of all military personnel and equipment from the nuclear power plant, saying the situation surrounding the Japoriza nuclear power plant was “dangerous”.
At the beginning of the war, Russia took control of the Zaporiza nuclear power plant in early March and deployed troops in the surrounding areas while controlling the nuclear power plant.
Recently, concerns have been raised about nuclear accidents in the vicinity of the Zaporiza nuclear power plant.
Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nevenja, who requested the convening of a Security Council meeting on the Zaporiza nuclear power plant in two weeks, said on the same day, “Ukrainian forces continue to bombard the nuclear power plant area every day.
“This would pose a risk of a radiation accident,” he said.
He also argued that U.S. weapons were being used to bomb the Japoriza nuclear power plant.
Ambassador Nebenja also countered that “we live in a parallel reality” to Western diplomats who claimed that Russia was attacking the Zaporiza nuclear power plant area.
However, the Ukrainian side dismissed Nebenja’s claim that U.S. weapons were attacking the Zaporiza nuclear power plant as “nonsense”.
Richard Mills, deputy US ambassador to the United Nations, called for the demilitarization and withdrawal of the Zaporiza nuclear power plant, saying, “Russia has driven Europe to the brink of a nuclear disaster.”
