MADRID, 16 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -
The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, has called this Monday "to move from words to new tough sanctions" against Russia, since it has ignored the demands of Western countries to withdraw its forces from the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
"If a terrorist state allows itself to completely ignore the demands of the international community, and even more so on such a sensitive issue, then this clearly indicates the need for immediate action," he said.
Zelenski has pointed out that "the world lacks strength and determination to protect the nuclear plant." "The world will lose. It loses to terrorists by giving in to nuclear blackmail", he criticized after recalling that "the world has been fighting for many decades for adequate control over all activities with nuclear materials".
Also, the Ukrainian leader has stated that the G7 foreign ministers "clearly understand that Russia is responsible for this nuclear crisis."
"Any radiation incident at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant can be a blow to the countries of the European Union, Turkey, Georgia and countries in more distant regions. It all depends only on the direction and strength of the wind," he said.
