Zelenskyy for sanctions against Russian nuclear industry

In view of the fighting over the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyj has called on the West to impose sanctions on Russia’s nuclear industry. The punitive measures would have to be taken by the nuclear industry of the aggressor state, said Zelenskyj in a video speech distributed in Kyiv yesterday evening. Nuclear power Russia is building nuclear power plants in several countries and also storing radioactive waste.

Russia is using the nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine to scare people and to blackmail the Ukrainian leadership and the whole world. “Every Russian soldier who shoots at the facility or shoots from its cover must know that he becomes a special target for our secret agents, for our special forces, for our army,” said Zelenskyy.

For days, Kyiv and Moscow have been accusing each other of being responsible for the shelling of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Russia has occupied the sprawling facility in the city of Enerhodar for months.
