? Deputy Head of the Russian Delegation, at the 8th Plenary Meeting of the 10th NPT Review Conference Igor Vishnevetskii: Right during our meeting, alarming information is coming about the situation at the Zaporozhye NPP.

❗️ Just two hours ago, the Ukrainian armed forces shelled the Zaporozhye NPP with large-caliber artillery.

❌ According to the information we receive in real time, repair crews cannot reach the scene of the fire as there is still a possibility of artillery shelling.

The situation is extremely alarming, fraught with the risk of a man-made disaster at Europe's largest nuclear power plant.

‼️ If the accident happens, it will be akin to Chernobyl.

☝️ Thus, we appeal to international organizations – the UN, the IAEA – as well as to nations that have an influence on the Kiev regime to take action so that the shelling of nuclear power plants stops immediately.

Otherwise, the consequences will be hard to predict.
