MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The international community must take urgent measures against Ukraine amid the recent attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Monday.
"This is not the first year when Russia is calling on the international community to take urgent measures to influence the Kiev regime and its Western patrons due to the fact that... for [Ukrainian President] Zelensky and for all those behind him, first of all Washington and London, nuclear power plants are a means and instrument of conducting terrorist activities," Zakharova told Channel One.
On Sunday, Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom said that a Zaporozhye nuclear power plant's cooling tower had been severely damaged by two direct hits from Ukrainian drones.
