Ukraine News: Minister Lemke concerned about the situation at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant

UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns of a possible nuclear catastrophe shortly before a meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation around the Ukrainian nuclear power plant Zaporizhia. If the “deeply disturbing incidents” around the nuclear power station continue, they “could trigger a disaster,” Guterres said. Heavy shelling has been reported from the area around Zaporizhia for days. Russia and Ukraine blame each other for the attacks in southern Ukraine.

Any damage at Zaporizhia or any other nuclear facility in Ukraine could have “catastrophic consequences not only for the surrounding area, but for the region and beyond,” Guterres said. “Unfortunately” there has been no de-escalation so far. He asked all sides “to show reason and common sense and not to do anything that could endanger the integrity and safety of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant”.
