Russian envoy calls Kiev’s attacks on Zaporozhye nuke challenge to international security

A senior Russian diplomat has formally accused the Ukrainian government of jeopardizing global nuclear safety through its ongoing military operations near the Zaporozhye power plant. Rodion Miroshnik, serving as a special envoy, characterized these tactical strikes as a reckless provocation that ignores established international protocols regarding atomic facilities. According to his statement, the persistent targeting of the site reflects a broader disregard for the catastrophic risks associated with nuclear infrastructure. Russian officials maintain that such actions pose an unacceptable threat to regional stability and the integrity of the power station. The Kremlin continues to urge international observers to acknowledge the potential for a radiological disaster caused by these hostilities.

The accusations highlight the escalating tensions surrounding the safety of Europe's largest nuclear power plant amid the ongoing conflict.
