According to Zelensky, the attack caused significant damage to the structure that protects the world from radioactive contamination at the destroyed 4th reactor of the plant – the site of the worst nuclear disaster in history, which occurred in 1986.
Attack on a global security site
The shelter was built through the joint efforts of Ukraine, Europe, the United States, and other countries as part of a global commitment to nuclear safety. According to Zelensky, Russia is the only country in the world that attacks nuclear sites, occupies power plants, and ignores the consequences of its actions.
“This is a threat to the entire world,” declared the Ukrainian president.
The fire caused by the drone’s impact was contained, and so far, there has been no increase in radiation levels. However, initial assessments indicate that the damage to the shelter is significant.

Russia continues night attacks and strengthens its military forces
Zelensky warned that Russia continues to carry out daily attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and cities. He also stated that Moscow is expanding its army without showing any intention of peace negotiations.
“Putin is not preparing for negotiations but rather to keep deceiving the world and prolong his war,” said the president.
Given this scenario, Zelensky reiterated his call for greater international pressure on Russia, stating that the country must be held accountable for its actions.
