Ukraine warns of Chernobyl-sized tragedy in Zaporizhia

Her interior minister Ukrainian said today that his country must be prepared for any scenario at the bombed Zaporizhia nuclear power plant — controlled by Russian forces, including evacuating people from the area.

Ukraine and Russian-installed local officials blamed each other today for fresh bombings at the nuclear power plant – Europe’s largest – located in southern Ukraine.

“The station is as of today not only in the hands of the enemy, but in the hands of untrained specialists who could possibly allow a tragedy to happen,” Interior Minister Denis Monastirsky said in an interview with Reuters.

“Of course, it’s hard to imagine the magnitude of the tragedy that could happen if the Russians continue their actions there,” he said.

Ukraine has warned in recent days of the risk of a nuclear-sized disaster Chernobyl.

“That means for us that … we have to prepare for any scenario. The state emergency services together with the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Regions are discussing various scenarios that are needed, including the issue of the evacuation of areas,” Monastirski said.
