„The Russian drone attack on the Chernobyl nuclear plant strengthens the argument for improving Ukraine’s air defences in our own self interest.
In 1986 the radioactive cloud endangered all Europe and beyond” - Poland's top diplomat conveyed via social media.
As reported by the Radio Poland portal, the attack caused damage but did not result in an increase in radiation levels.
President Zelensky denounced the attack, linking it to Russia's relentless strikes on civilian infrastructure and its military escalation, and argued that these actions clearly show Putin's disinterest in pursuing peace talks.
