The President of Lithuania Gitanas Naus\u0117da, on the anniversary of the accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, called for decisive measures against Russia for its use of nuclear energy for military purposes.<\/p>\n

As UATV English<\/a> writes, he stated this on the platform X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Naus\u0117da emphasized that 40 years after the Chornobyl disaster, Russia once again puts the world under nuclear threat by attacking and occupying Ukrainian nuclear power plants.<\/p>\n

\u201cForty years after the Chornobyl disaster, Russia is again putting the world at risk. From Zaporizhzhia to Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant and Ostrovets (the city where the Belarusian NPP is located \u2013 ed.), Russia uses nuclear energy for military purposes \u2014 through occupation, attacks, and damage to nuclear facilities,\u201d the Lithuanian president wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In this context, he called for international sanctions against the Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom in order to prevent a repetition of the history of Chornobyl.<\/p>\n

On the eve, the EU\u2019s top diplomat Kaja Kallas and the European Commission issued a joint statement marking the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster, calling on Russia to stop attacks on nuclear facilities in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

It is recalled that on the night of February 14, 2025, a Russian strike drone with a high-explosive warhead hit the shelter of the 4th power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and the damage to the sarcophagus was significant.<\/p>\n
