Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський|4月 26, 2026 18:49
The Russians have turned our Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant – the largest plant in Europe – into an instrument of their war. They launch attacks from there against our cities and villages, store weapons, ammunition, and military equipment at the plant, mined its perimeter, and are effectively holding our city of Enerhodar hostage. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has already gone through a full blackout fourteen times.
When the world deals with Russia, everyone must understand that they are dealing with a completely irresponsible – and in many ways simply reckless – force that must be truly constrained for the sake of the security of us all. That is why global sanctions must be strong, resistance to evil must be strong, and support for those defending lives must also be sufficiently strong.
The very fact that the Russians even went so far as to strike the confinement structure that covers the remains of the fourth power unit with a drone shows that Russia cannot be a participant in civilized international relations.
