Filming himself on a mobile phone, Ukrainian President Zelensky states that the Russian attack against the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear power plant might trigger a catastrophic disaster beyond Chernobyl.
Translation:
Europe needs to wake up. The largest nuclear power station in Europe is on fire. Right this moment, Russian tanks are shelling the nuclear blocks. These tanks are equipped with heat visors, meaning they know exactly what they're shooting at. They prepared for this.
I address all Ukrainians, all Europeans, all the people who know the word "Chernobyl", all the people who know how much sorrow and victims the nuclear station explosion brought. It was a global catastrophe - hundreds of thousands of people were fighting its consequences, tens of thousands were evacuated. Russia wants to repeat it and is doing so right now, but this time it's six times larger.
Europeans, wake up, please! Tell your politicians, the Russian army is shelling a nuclear power station in Ukraine, the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Station, Energodar city. There are six power blocks there - six! In Chernobyl, only one power block has exploded.
We have contacted our leaders, our partners, I already spoke with Charles Michel, Scholz, Duda, I spoke with President Biden, we contacted the head of MAGATE Grossi, and the PM Johnson. We are warning you: Russia is the first country in the history to shell a nuclear power block. This is the first time in the history of humanity that a terrorist state has resorted to nuclear terror.
The Russian propagandists have threatened, as we remembered, to cover the world in nuclear ash. This is no longer a threat now - this is reality. And we don't know what the fire at the station will end with, if there will not be an explosion or if, God forbid, there will. Nobody can say for sure but our guys have always kept the power station safe, to prevent provocations, to stop anyone from entering it, capturing it, mining it and then blackmailing the world with nuclear catastrophe to the entire world.
We need to stop the Russian military. Immediately shout to your politicians - Ukraine has 15 nuclear blocks. If an explosion happens, everyone is finished. Europe is finished. The entire Europe will have to be evacuated. Only the immediate action of Europe can stop the Russian army.
Do not let Europe perish from a nuclear power station catastrophe!
