Despite having occupied and now controlling Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant — Europe's biggest – russia continues to shell the plant in an effort to cripple Ukraine’s power supply and threaten the region with a nuclear catastrophe on a scale the world has never experienced. “russia is committing nuclear terrorism,” stated UWC President Paul Grod, “The consequences will be disastrous for Ukraine, the rest of Europe, and the entire Black Sea region. Putin believes if russia cannot occupy Ukraine, then no one can.”
Ukrainian World Congress calls on the UN Security Council and the International Atomic Energy Agency to immediately ensure an end to the shelling, degradation and mining by russian forces of the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
