On France 24, Yulia Tymoshenko thanks "the whole world for its support and the sanctions against Putin".

But she warns: "If Putin's army intends to bomb our nuclear power plants, it will undoubtedly be a tragedy for the entire continent."

The Ukrainian nuclear fleet consists of four power plants, equipped with fifteen reactors.

Yulia Tymoshenko urges the international community and NATO to "close Ukrainian airspace" to preserve it from any Russian intrusion.

It also calls for the intervention of peacekeeping forces under UN auspices in Ukraine.

Otherwise, concludes Yulia Tymoshenko, the Russian intervention will not only represent a "threat" for Ukraine, but for "Europe, and the world".
