According to RIA Novosti, Buyakevich suggested that Kyiv was not enough just to kill civilians and its own soldiers, and he "decided to raise the stakes and actually take hostage the whole of Europe, striking at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and creating the risk of a large-scale nuclear catastrophe."

“It is extremely surprising that the political circles of Western countries did not react to such extremely dangerous adventures of Kyiv.

The United States, being across the ocean, obviously considers itself safe.

But do European capitals really not realize the risks of a “new Chernobyl”?”

Buyakevich said at a special meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council.

Earlier, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by the Ukrainian military is an extremely dangerous activity that is fraught with catastrophic consequences.
