No one could have imagined that decades after Chornobyl – after everything countries have done to ensure radiation safety and protect lives – someone would want to turn Chornobyl, the facilities that remain here, and the Exclusion Zone itself into a territory of war. And the worst thing is...

Together with IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi, we took part in the opening of a new permanent exhibition at the National Chornobyl Museum: “Chornobyl: People and Meanings.” I received a report from Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Ihor Klymenko on the work carried out to mitigate the consequences of the Russian drone strike on the confinement structure on February 14, 2025, as well as the importance of continued support from partners. It is important to remember the damage Russia inflicted during the occupation of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the threat that Russian strikes pose to global nuclear safety. I am grateful to the staff of the National Chornobyl Museum for this important work and for preserving the memory of the catastrophe at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Our deepest gratitude to all the liquidators of this disaster.

We are grateful to every country that is strengthening its national sanctions regimes – this truly helps. And this is a crucial point – that global sanctions should also extend to Russia’s nuclear sector and to all associated legal entities and individuals. We must also speak clearly about the fact that only Ukrainian control, only Ukrainian specialists, and Ukrainian safety protocols can guarantee that there will be no radiation-related risks at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. And very importantly, please remember the need to continuously strengthen Ukraine’s air defense and our long-range capabilities. This is not only, quite literally, protection for our people and our infrastructure – including the Chornobyl facilities – it also helps us create a real sense in Russia that they will have to bring this war to an end. From an address marking the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster (3/3)

Radiation sees no borders or national flags. The Chornobyl disaster demonstrated how rapidly deadly threats can emerge. Tens of thousands of people mitigated the Chornobyl disaster at the cost of their own health and lives, eliminating its terrible consequences in 1986 and the years after. For 35 days in 2022, Russia occupied the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Russian soldiers looted laboratories, captured guards and abused personnel, as well as used the station to launch further military operations. For 785 days now, Russian terrorists have held hostage the Zaporizhzhia NPP. And it is the entire world's responsibility to put pressure on Russia to ensure that ZNPP is liberated and returned to full Ukrainian control, as well as that all Ukrainian nuclear facilities are protected from Russian strikes. This is the only way to prevent new radiation disasters, which the Russian occupiers' presence at ZNPP constantly threatens. We remember the dedication of the people who saved lives in 1986. We appreciate everyone who is helping to save lives right now.

The Russians have turned our Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant – the largest plant in Europe – into an instrument of their war. They launch attacks from there against our cities and villages, store weapons, ammunition, and military equipment at the plant, mined its perimeter, and are effectively holding our city of Enerhodar hostage. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has already gone through a full blackout fourteen times. When the world deals with Russia, everyone must understand that they are dealing with a completely irresponsible – and in many ways simply reckless – force that must be truly constrained for the sake of the security of us all. That is why global sanctions must be strong, resistance to evil must be strong, and support for those defending lives must also be sufficiently strong. The very fact that the Russians even went so far as to strike the confinement structure that covers the remains of the fourth power unit with a drone shows that Russia cannot be a participant in civilized international relations.

The Russian strike on the protective sarcophagus at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant is not accidental - it is symbolic. The installation of Chornobyl New Safe Confinement was a unique event in the history of nuclear power safety in the world. This facility, crucial for the safety of Ukraine and Europe was built by Ukraine together with its European partners, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and a consortium of French companies, Novarka. By the way, the sarcophagus was completed during President Trump's first tenure in the White House. The Chornobyl Confinement has impressive size: 165 meters long, 260 meters wide and 110 meters high. It is taller than the Statue of Liberty and Big Ben. The total cost of the shelter project was $2.15 billion. The protective structure over the fourth emergency power unit of Chornobyl Nuclear power plant is a symbol of protection, shelter, safety. It is a symbol of heroism, of united efforts to protect lives. It is a symbol of the terrible catastrophe that Ukraine experienced and overcame thanks to general support. Russia once again shows that its culture is a culture of death and that it does not care about human lives.

Today marks 39 years since the Chornobyl disaster. The accident resulted from a reckless Moscow-directed experiment that ignored basic safety protocols. After the disaster, Soviet authorities hid the truth and delayed evacuation, exposing millions to radiation. To this day, the consequences of the #Chornobyl disaster are still deeply felt. The world must learn from the mistakes of the past and prevent lies and negligence from ever bringing our planet to the brink of nuclear catastrophe again.

Today is the 40th anniversary of the greatest technological disaster of the 20th century - the explosion at Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. This catastrophe could have had still much more disastrous global impact had it not been a sacrifice of the first responders. At 1:23 a.m., in 1986, two explosions destroyed the fourth power unit of the station. The reactor was left exposed, and flames, smoke, and radioactive materials were released into the atmosphere. At that moment, no one yet understood the full scale of the tragedy. Within minutes, the first firefighting crews from Prypyat and Chornobyl arrived at the plant, led by Lieutenants Vladimir Pravik and Viktor Kibenok. Later, the chief of the unit, Leonid Telyatnikov, joined the firefighting efforts. They faced a task the significance of which would only become clear later: to prevent the fire from spreading to the adjacent third power unit. Had the fire spread further, the consequences for Ukraine and the whole of Europe could have been incomparably worse. The firefighters had no special radiation suits and no accurate data on radiation levels among the scorching fragments of graphite and metal. All they had were canvas uniforms, helmets, and water hoses. The firefighters worked almost blindly. They climbed external ladders to the roof, laid out hoses, sprayed water, and extinguished dozens of fire hotspots. These hours would later be called a feat of heroism. For them, however, it was simply a job that had to be done at any cost. They did not know they were already receiving lethal doses of radiation. By morning, the fire was contained. Those few hours were decisive. They provided the opportunity to begin the further cleanup of the accident and to prevent a much more catastrophic scenario. In the first hours after the accident, 28 firefighters fought the reactor that night. Six of them: Pravik, Kibenok, Ignatenko, Vashchuk, Tishura, and Titenok - received doses incompatible with life. They were buried in sealed zinc coffins under concrete slabs. Following them, thousands of liquidators arrived in Chornobyl - engineers, military personnel, medics, and miners. They cleared the contaminated territory, dropped sand and boron from helicopters, and built a sarcophagus over the destroyed reactor. But it was those very first hours that determined whether the world would have time for that struggle. On the 10th anniversary of the tragedy, a monument titled "To Those Who Saved the World" was installed in Chornobyl in honor of the accident's liquidators. This is no exaggeration. Were it not for their heroism, the radioactive cloud that spread to the west and northwest could have been thousands of times denser. The consequences were felt even in the United States, but a catastrophe of planetary scale was avoided only thanks to the self-sacrifice of those first liquidators. Forty years later, Chornobyl remains a reminder of the price of technological errors and human responsibility - but also a reminder of the people who were the first to face the fire at the nuclear plant and who did everything in their power to ensure the disaster did not become even worse.

The Chornobyl disaster in 1986 had terrible consequences and showed the world that radiation has no borders. It's the largest tragedy in the history of nuclear power generation. In 2022, russia occupied the Zaporizhzhia NPP. The world should prevent new radiation disasters and stop russian nuclear terror. Ukrainian nuclear facilities have to be protected from russian strikes. 📹: Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський

Forty years ago, the world faced one of the largest nuclear disasters – the fourth reactor of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded. A significant amount of radioactive material was released. Hundreds of thousands of people have been dealing with the consequences of that tragedy for years. To contain the radiation, a sarcophagus was built over the destroyed reactor. Later, more than 40 countries enclosed it with the New Safe Confinement to prevent further disasters. These two structures are what protect against radioactive releases and contamination. Their maintenance and protection are in everyone’s interest. But through its war, Russia is once again bringing the world to the brink of a man-made disaster – Russian-Iranian “shaheds” regularly fly over the plant, and one of them struck the confinement last year. The world must not allow this nuclear terrorism to continue, and the best way is to force Russia to stop its reckless attacks. We remember everyone who gave their lives while dealing with the aftermath of this tragedy. May all the victims of the Chornobyl disaster rest in peace. UNITED24 Media

40 years ago, the Chornobyl disaster shook the world. Today, the threat of another nuclear catastrophe is once again real. Russia is deliberately targeting nuclear facilities in Ukraine, holding workers hostage, putting millions of lives at risk, and causing huge economic losses. The international community must act together to protect people and the planet from another nuclear disaster that Russia is attempting to cause. #Chornobyl40

Tonight, the Russians struck Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities and communities. The largest number of missiles was directed at the capital – at ordinary residential buildings, at schools; they burned down a food market, one of Kyiv’s oldest markets. The Russian strike effectively destroyed the Chornobyl Museum, damaged the National Art Museum and the building housing the office of Germany’s ARD. As of now, 69 people have been reported injured in the capital. Tragically, two people were killed in this senseless Russian attack. My condolences to everyone who has lost family members and loved ones. I have already spoken with the President of France and the Prime Minister of Norway. There will be further communication with our partners today. I am grateful to everyone who is not staying silent about what Russia is doing. They are waging war solely against our people – against our memory, our history, and everything that makes up normal human life. It is important that Russia understands that they will be held accountable for all these crimes.

Today, the Russians again struck the special territory around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. A “shahed” hit one of the buildings of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility. An extremely critical infrastructure facility – and an extremely vile Russian strike. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy, and all our services are already working to ensure that each of our partners knows what has happened. Russia deliberately struck this particular nuclear infrastructure facility. As of now, there are no readings exceeding normal background radiation levels. But there is certainly an increase in Russia’s brazenness, which long ago went off the charts. Ukrainian first responders extinguished the fire at this facility after the strike. And real new steps by the world are needed so that the Russians feel that this terrorist war of theirs is a blow to Russia itself. Last night, there were also Russian strikes on other civilian facilities in 13 of our regions. In total, over the course of this past week, Russia launched 88 missiles, more than 3,250 attack drones, and around 1,800 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine. Pressure on Russia must be increased. Thank you to everyone who’s helping!

Russian President Putin about Donbas: "It's important territory, our historical territory, absolutely. Russia was created in such a way that this was always part of Russia; there's no question about that. It's simply a natural thing, a historical fact. And even during the formation, the founding of the Soviet Union, there was a dispute, as I've already mentioned. Donbas became part of the RSFSR, and then Vladimir Ilyich decided, as he put it - this is a direct quote from the document - "to change the decision." And he changed the decision, and that's it, Donbas was given to Ukraine. That's how it all happened. I won't comment on what happened now. But it's not just about that; it's about the people. People who didn't accept the coup d'état in Ukraine in 2014. And they started fighting against them. Fighting with artillery, heavy equipment, tanks, and aircraft. That's how it all began. That's when the war began. We're trying to end it. We are forced to do this by force of arms. And we will, of course, bring this matter to its logical conclusion, until the goal of the special military operation is achieved."

Russia’s massive attack on Kyiv on November 14 took the life of Nataliia Khodemchuk. She was the wife of Valerii Khodemchuk, a circulating-pump operator at Reactor 4 of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, who died on April 26, 1986. He was the only plant worker whose body was never recovered from the rubble. Nearly four decades later, Nataliia was killed in a new tragedy caused once again by the Kremlin. Ukrainians who survived Chornobyl, who helped rebuild the country after that disaster, are once again facing danger—the terror of an aggressor state. Ukraine needs support that saves lives: more air defense systems, more protective capabilities, and greater resolve from our partners. Only this can stop further Russian terror and give Ukrainian families the basic right to safety in their own homes. UNITED24 Media

This is Nikopol, a city in Ukraine where civilians are being hunted by drones. I investigated how russians are now launching those drones FROM Europe's largest nuclear power plant at the other side of the river. Russian aggression puts the entire planet at risk of nuclear disaster, it doesn't just stop at the borders of Ukraine. Since the Zaporizhzhia NPP was stormed, theres been almost zero international news coverage of the site, yet every day the situation deteriorates. The same soviet system of lies that led to the Chornobyl disaster is now running a nuclear facility twice the size. Every single environmental agency needs to start calling out the russian threat to our planet. The plant is now running on diesel generators that can fail at any moment. They have already failed 15 times since the full-scale invasion. This is Chornobyl on steroids. Whatever your views on the war in Ukraine, a nuclear disaster here doesn’t respect borders. It doesn’t care about your politics. What's happening in Nikopol is a warning.

'The deployment of peacekeepers in Ukraine is not what is needed to end the war that the West is waging against Russia at the hands of Ukrainians. We will not accept this under any circumstances. No one talks to us about this. And as they [the Europeans] say: "Nothing about Ukraine - without Ukraine." At the same time, everything about Russia - without Russia. Why should we agree to the deployment of military forces from countries that consider us adversaries? And these troops will come as peacekeepers?' - Lavrov

“I dreamed of being exchanged on August 24,” a Ukrainian Defender who returned from captivity says. Ukraine returned 115 Ukrainian Defenders from Russian captivity today. They also include those who were taken prisoner in the first months of 2022. 82 Warriors who defended Mariupol were returned, including about 50 Azovstal defenders, sailors, three border guards, six National Guardsmen from the Chornobyl nuclear Power Plant, and soldiers who took part in battles in Kyiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kherson regions. 📹: Radio Svoboda

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "To me, it's [JFK's] most important speech. It's one of the most important speeches in American history; the thing that he did that was so unusual in that speech is he talked to the American people and asked them to put themselves in the shoes of the Russians..." "The zeitgeist of our era was that America had won the war and now we were going to rightfully dominate the peace. And he said something very, very different to Americans that challenged that patriotic assumption: He said, no, it was actually the Russians who won the war. They weakened Hitler and made it possible for us to march into Berlin." "And he talked about the suffering of the Russians during the war and to legitimize their security concerns, which nobody was doing... what he was saying to the Americans is, no, they have legitimate security concerns the same as we do, and we need to understand those things." "And he reminded Americans of the suffering that the Russians had endured, unimaginable suffering. One in seven Russians had been killed during World War II. He asked Americans to imagine that all of the land, all of the cities, all of the towns from the East Coast to Chicago had been leveled to rubble, that the forests and fields had been burned. And he said that's what happened to Russia during the war. That's what they sacrificed for us, and they have legitimate security concerns to make sure that never happens again..." "I'm speaking you today because the world is once again at a very similar crossroads. As in my uncle's time, nuclear tensions are at an extreme and dangerous level. As in his time, we have a unique opportunity not only to diffuse those tensions, but to take a radically different path, a path towards peace."
