At the UN Security Council, the representative of the aggressor country said that the occupiers “protect” nuclear power plants, in particular “from terrorist attacks.”

Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, did not support the proposal to create a demilitarized zone around the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant . He spoke about allegedly possible “provocations” by Ukraine.

According to Nebenzi, the invaders allegedly “protect” the nuclear power plant, in particular “from terrorist attacks.” 

“The demilitarization of the station can make it vulnerable to those who want to visit it. Nobody knows what their goals and objectives will be. We cannot rule out some kind of provocation, terrorist attacks on the station, which we must protect,” Nebenzya said cynically. , quotes  “Interfax” .
