H.E. Ms Larysa Gerasko:

The situation is that this is one of the largest plants in Europe. Zaporizhzhia is currently under control of the Russian army. Employees of this station were taken hostage at the very beginning – just after the occupation, let us say, of this power plant – and Russia still holds them even now. The Russian army and military forces weaponised this nuclear power plant. As for today, they have located weapons literally on the roof of this nuclear plant. Quite often, they shell the nuclear power plant. They damaged not the roof but the cover, let us say, of this nuclear power plant a few times. In the case of explosion or real damage to the plant, not only Ukraine but also the rest of Europe will be affected by it.
