Minister Galushchenko: Russia puts world on brink of nuclear disaster to get concessions

"In desperation, Russia puts the world on the brink of a nuclear disaster to get at least some concessions in its energy blackmail of Eure," Minister of Energy of Ukraine German Galushchenko commented on the shelling of the South Ukraine NPP on Facebook.

He praised the resilience of Eure in countering Russia's energy aggression. However, according to the minister, the need to st Russian nuclear terror in Ukraine requires double efforts.

"The world must finally retaliate against the terrorist state. It is not too late and a nuclear disaster is only a threat which, unfortunately, is becoming more and more real every day," Galushchenko emphasized.

Russian missiles have repeatedly flown dangerously close to the South Ukraine NPP.
