Top Ukrainian officials have called on the United Nations to take immediate action to prevent a "nuclear catastrophe" by demilitarizing Russian forces that have occupied the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
"Is the world ready for a nuclear catastrophe because of Russia's bungling?" questioned Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk in a Wednesday Telegram post. "The occupiers set up an ammunition depot near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant," she continued, adding that the "occupiers' stupidity is worse than their villainy." Vereshchuk called on the U.N. in a video address to establish a special mission in the region to prioritize demilitarizing the area around the Chernobyl nuclear station – which has been occupied by Russian troops since the first day of its deadly invasion last month. Ukrainian workers have continued to operate the site, but security officials remain concerned that the power plant could once again face a nuclear disaster similar to the 1986 catastrophe.
