Kyiv, March 4 (UNI) Following the attack on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday urged Europe to step in as Russia is a “terrorist state” committing “nuclear terrorism” He said, “Europe must wake up now. The largest nuclear station in Europe is on fire. Right now Russian tanks are shelling nuclear units. Those are the tank that have thermal vision, so they know where they are shelling. They prepared for it. “I address all Ukrainians and all Europeans to all people who know the word Chernobyl who know how much suffering and victims were caused by the explosion at the nuclear station. It was a global disaster…Russia wants to repeat it but six times harder.” Urging Europeans to take an immediate action against Russia, the President said, “Europeans, please, wake up. Tell your politicians, Russian troops are shelling Zaporizhia nuclear power station, the city of Enerhodar. There are 6 energy unit. Six. One unit exploded in Chernobyl. “We warn everyone that not a single nation ever shelled nuclear power stations. For the first time in the history of humankind, the terrorist state commits nuclear terrorism. “Russian propagandists threatened to cover the world with nuclear ashes. Now it’s not a threat. It’s a reality. We don’t know how the fire at the station will end, when an explosion will happen, god willing, it won’t happen. Our guys always kept the station in safety, so there were not provocations, mines, and then blackmail the whole world with a nuclear disaster. “We must stop Russian troops. Tell your politicians: Ukraine is 15 nuclear units. If there will be an explosion, it will the end to all of us, the end of Europe, the evacuation of Europe. Only immediate action of Europe can stop Russian troops and prevent the death of Europe from the disaster at a nuclear station.” A fire had broken out at the nuclear plant in the wee hours of Friday as Russian forces attacked “from all sides,” with firefighters unable to reach the site.
