The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, accused President Vladimir Putin at the UN on Wednesday of planning attacks against his nuclear power plants, while ensuring that he will “never” accept an imposed peace with Russia, after two and a half years. of war.
«I recently received another alarming report from our intelligence service. “It seems that now Putin plans to attack our nuclear plants and infrastructure, to disconnect these facilities from the energy grid,” Zelensky said in his speech to the General Assembly.
«Any critical incident in the power system could cause a nuclear disaster. A day like this should never come. “Moscow has to understand this, and that depends in part on its determination and the pressure put on the aggressor,” he added.
While Russia continues its daily bombings on Ukrainian territory, Zelensky assured that his country will “never” accept a peace imposed from outside.
“We Ukrainians will never accept it – we will never accept it – why would anyone in the world believe that such a brutal colonial past, which has no continuity today, could be imposed now in Ukraine?” Zelensky asked, questioning the motivations of China and Brazil to promote talks with Russia.
The Ukrainian president plans to present on Thursday in Washington to his American counterpart, Joe Biden, and to Congress the details of a “victory plan” that, according to him, would put an end to the Russian invasion of his country, which began in February 2022. .
