Russia can arrange a terrorist attack on the ZEP to intimidate the world by the consequences of war and politically influence Ukraine's counter -offensive - Volodymyr Zelenskyy

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Russia can resort to a terrorist act at the occupied Zaporizhzhya NPP to frighten the world with the possible consequences of its aggression against Ukraine and to create a political influence on the counter -offensive actions of the Ukrainian army. The Head of State stated this during a meeting with media representatives after negotiations with Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez in Kiev. “We have long been saying that there is a serious threat.

Because Russia is technically ready to provoke a local explosion at the station, which can lead to the release of dangerous substances into the air. We are very clearly communicated. We discuss it all with partners so that everyone understands what Russia is doing it for, and pressed on the Russian Federation politically, so that they do not even think about it, ”Vladimir Zelensky said, answering journalists' questions.

According to the President, Russian invaders resort to terrorist actions because their army demonstrates weakness on the battlefield throughout the year. Therefore, terrorist attacks such as the blast of the Kakhovskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant or a possible local terrorist attack on the NPPs are trying to stop the defense forces of Ukraine. In addition, Volodymyr Zelenskyy is convinced that the Russian Federation wants to show that her aggressive war against Ukraine is dangerous to the world.

“To make people be afraid of this. To then certain partners, especially those who are skeptics, began to stop Ukraine politically, our counter -offensive actions, ”he explained. The head of state stressed that Ukraine has been saying that the Zaporizhzhia NPP should be returned under the full control of the Ukrainian authorities. And it is also very important that at the time of transition of control over the station to Ukraine everything is checked by independent specialists.

According to the President, the IAEA, which is a mediator and can attract other states, should play a role in this. “Because there may be a remote mining. To say that under the control of the invaders everything was fine, and now there is an ejection. This is a very important point, ”Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

Answering the journalists' questions about the prospects of receiving the F-16 aircraft with Ukraine, the President recalled that agreements were reached to create a coalition of countries that are ready to start the relevant training for Ukrainian pilots. Now Ukraine is expecting a schedule of these training missions, the Head of State said. “We have agreed, we have made sure that we have a coalition of countries that are ready to start training for Ukrainian pilots.
