“Nuclear safety has been a priority for Ukraine for decades, especially given our tragic past. The Russian occupiers have turned the Zaporizhzhya NPP into a military base and are endangering the entire continent. The Russian army must leave this plant. He has nothing to do there,” Kuleba wrote.

Ukrinform notes that the Russian army occupied the nuclear power plant on March 4 and since then has been taking military equipment and ammunition there, as well as opening fire on nearby territories.
