Zelensky urges UN to act, accuses Russia of targeting power plants
During a United Nations Security Council speech, Volodymyr Zelensky stated that intelligence indicates Russia's intention to target Ukraine's three nuclear power plants, emphasizing that evidence supports this claim. The Ukrainian president accuses Moscow of wanting to once again cause blackouts this winter and deprive millions of Ukrainians of electricity and heating.
“This fall, they [Russia - ed.note] are being even more cynical: they are preparing to target our nuclear power plants. Three of them. We have this information and we have proof of this,” said Zelensky, speaking at the Council's debate on the war in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian president did not provide details but accused Moscow of wanting to cause blackouts again this winter and deprive millions of Ukrainians of electricity and heating.
"Russia can only be forced into peace"
He pointed out that Russia constantly lies about its actions in Ukraine because it cannot justify them. He questioned how else it could be explained that its missiles are showing up in the airspace of Poland, Romania, or Moldova, emphasizing that the war will not end through discussions but through concrete actions.
“Russia can only be forced into peace, and that is exactly what's needed -- forcing Russia into peace,” he declared.
