Quote: "The threat of the missiles hitting the reactor with possible consequences, i.e. a nuclear disaster, was high again.

This is another act of Russian nuclear terrorism which puts the security of the whole world in danger.

We are turning to the International Atomic Energy Agency once again with a request to take all the possible measures to stop the nuclear terrorism of Russia, withdraw Russian troops from the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and organise a demilitarised zone around it and no-fly zone above all nuclear facilities of Ukraine."
