Radiation leakage will threaten the population of NATO member countries.
Tobias Ellwood, a British deputy and chairman of the special defense committee in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, believes that an attack on the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant will trigger a response from the military forces of NATO countries.
He announced this on Twitter .
Adam Kinzinger, a member of the House of Representatives from Illinois , also confirmed this: “This is not even discussed. Any leak will kill people in NATO countries. This is automatically Article 5.”
According to Article 5, in the event that any of the member states of the Alliance becomes the victim of an armed attack, all other members of the Alliance, without exception, will consider this act of violence an armed attack against them all and will take all measures that they deem appropriate to help a member of the Alliance, who was attacked.
Recall that the enemy has been controlling the ZNPP since March 4. The invaders also occupied Energodar, a satellite city of the nuclear power plant.
The Russians have repeatedly shelled the territory of the nuclear power plant and even damaged a number of objects . The Ukrainian authorities asked the International Atomic Energy Agency for help in resolving the conflict.
The European Union and more than 40 countries of the world called on Russia to immediately withdraw its troops and personnel from the ZNPP. And the UN is ready to support the trip of the IAEA mission to the nuclear power plant, if both Ukraine and the Russian Federation approve it at the same time.
In the event of a disaster at the facility, according to the head of the Zaporozhye Regional Military Administration Alexander Starukh, 400,000 residents from the two regions will have to be evacuated .
Russia opposes the demilitarized zone around the ZNPP, hiding behind the “vulnerability” of the plant. According to the GUR and the American Institute for the Study of War , the Russians are preparing a terrorist attack on a nuclear power plant under a false flag.

Maybe this is why Putler so generously allowed the UN inspectors in to the NPP, but only after he removes all the evidence of course. I would like to think someone in the WH had a little word with the terrorist and what would happen if he caused a nuclear disaster in Ukraine.
Much stronger language should have been used regarding the gross safety violations at this NPP by the cockroaches. They enjoy ignoring the meekness that usually comes from the West. However, this is not a situation in which any sort of meekness will bring results. Being strong AFTER a disaster happens is completely useless. Don’t forget Chernobyl! Once the highly radioactive clouds are released, there’s no stopping them.
I don’t see anyone in the Biden administration being so bold or have the balls to say this unequivocally! Could be wrong but I haven’t seen any courage so far no need for me to believe otherwise. Sadly!!!
Something is going on behind the scenes I suppose. Putin removed the troops from the plant, probably to shell it.
I think this is a message done to deter him, basically saying that shelling it will be considered as a declaration of war.
I think the next couple of days will be considered one of humanities most dangerous.
Russia better be careful or Kalingrad’s name may be changed to Konigsburg again.
