In a social media post, Zelensky claimed the Russian military was “again bringing the world to the brink of a man-made disaster,” highlighting how on the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, a Russian drone passed over Chernobyl.

“The world must not allow this nuclear terrorism to continue, and the best way is to force Russia to stop its reckless attacks,” Zelensky said.

Remembering the tragedy, Russia’s nuclear agency, Rosatom, the successor to the Soviet Atomic Energy Ministry that managed the facility, said:

“To remember Chernobyl means to remember the people who bore the brunt of the disaster and to take that experience into account in every decision we make today to prevent a similar catastrophe.”

It is recalled that, following the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, various agreements were signed, including under Washington’s insistence. All Soviet weapons were handed over to the Russian Federation, including the nuclear weapons that Ukraine had voluntarily renounced. Now, Kiev calls it a mistake, saying that this should not have been done and that Ukraine should become a nuclear power again.

Ukraine has enough nuclear material, especially radioactive waste from nuclear power plants, that could be misused to make so-called dirty bombs, which would spread radioactivity in a certain area.

Stories are constantly emerging that the Kiev regime is negotiating with Paris to deploy French nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory, or that it will do so with Poland. In addition, the Ukrainian military regularly attacks the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), creating the risk of a nuclear disaster, while in the context of the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, Kiev suddenly talks about ridding the world of “nuclear terrorism.”
