UN Secretary-General condemned Russian strikes on Ukraine and expressed concern for nuclear safety.

The UN Secretary-General expressed strong condemnation of Russia's attacks on Ukraine. António Guterres noted that these strikes have created a threat to nuclear safety at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. He expressed concern over the rising number of civilian casualties and called for an immediate ceasefire.

«These strikes have led to power outages at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, underscoring the ongoing risks to nuclear safety,» - stated UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric.

Guterres emphasized the importance of adhering to international law and peaceful UN resolutions as key elements for resolving the conflict. It is worth noting that on July 4, Russian forces attacked the power line at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, leading to a blackout, but thanks to the actions of specialists, power supply was restored.

In his statement, the UN Secretary-General expressed serious outrage over the situation and called for immediate action to resolve the conflict and prevent further casualties.
