The UN Secretary General called “suicidal”, Monday, August 8, any attack on nuclear power plants. He called for the cessation of military operations around that of Zaporijjia, Ukraine, so that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) can access it.
The site has been targeted since Friday by two bombings, of which the Russian and Ukrainian belligerents accuse each other. The situation there had already raised concerns in March. During their assault that led to the capture of the Zaporijjia power plant in March, the Russian military opened fire on administrative buildings on the site, raising fears of a major nuclear accident.
“I hope these attacks will end”, said Antonio Guterres during a press conference in Tokyo. For the past week, the UN Secretary General has continued to worry about nuclear risks for humanity, which is only “a misunderstanding” Where “an error in judgement” of the’“nuclear annihilation”.
