Zelensky says Putin is planning nuclear plant attacks | BBC News

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russia is planning a serious escalation of its war against his country.

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, he said the Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning to attack nuclear power plants in Ukraine.

He added: "Any missile or drone strike, any critical incident in the energy system could lead to a nuclear disaster.

"A day like that must never come, and Moscow needs to understand this, and this depends in part on your determination to put pressure on the aggressor."

You have to admire the balls of the man. Orders attacks on Russian nuclear sites and then when he fails miserably to cause the disaster he was hoping for he turns round and points his finger at the other side. As a lying grifter on the take he really is world class.

300 billion wasted on endless wars and death what happened to diplomacy

[mathewnicholls]

Do one Zelensky, sick of hearing the bullshit

[Koluchka_N]

Zelensky forgot to say that they were the first to come up with the idea of blowing up the nuclear power plant in Kursk. What a fool

Zelenskiy elected term ended on the 20th of May!

He wants more money, make peace not more wars .

This can only end well through negotiations in which there is an irreversible 'NO' to NATO in Ukraine.

Funny cause russia has the capability to hit all ukrops npps at the same time but the only one getting hit is the one under russian control… 😂

Can bbc show a speach of Serbian President?))) No? )))

[marcopaganotto]

What an absolute load of total utter b*llox. Why would they do that, they're the ones actually protecting the power station from Ukrainian shelling.

I dont understand. Ukraine 'is' sacraficing its future by continuing. What are they thinking?

[Theevul_Gekneeus]

Erm... Isn't what hes saying been what he's also been doing...
Funny how heading into Kursk towards a nuclear power plant is now the seemingly "oh we're not they are"...

[imc_en_viaje]

Why is that dictator giving a speech? He is no longer president, he is just a regular person. Are you happy supporting a dictator, when you talk about democracy? 😂😂😂

[TRUCKERJOES]

Zelensky, if you pray for rain you gotta deal with mud. Zelensky Clowan:! the world biggest beggar

[leszekkarnazycki]

I noticed that, people are woken up and see what kind of person zelensky is.

[KG]

Zelensky as usual talking a load of crap. He was better as a comedian..

[Lucy]

I cannot stand this man. He is an opportunist and we should not help them

[davidlloyd]

Why would Russia attack a nuclear power station, when we know the reason for the Ukraine Kursk attack was to attack the Kursk power station?

[Carolynwatt]

I am not trusting this man as this goes on

[mattmccartney]

"Saddam is seeking to purchase yellow cake uranium in Africa for his WMD program. Wait...wrong speech...Russia and nuclear power plants. Yes, that's the one."
