#ZaporozhskayaNPP
❗️Since April 7, 2024, Europe’s largest Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant has been subjected to systematic Ukrainian attacks using unmanned combat aerial vehicles.
An emergency session of the IAEA Board of Governors will soon be convened on our initiative. The issue of Ukrainian attacks on the NPP will also be raised at a UN Security Council briefing. We intend to urge specialised international organisations to recognise current developments around the Zaporozhskaya NPP and Ukraine as a whole.
#Donbass
▪️ Kiev launched its “counterterrorist operation” in Donbass almost a decade ago.
In effect, this was a civil war unleashed by Kiev against its then compatriots in the country’s southeast. People there demanded only one thing – respect for their lawful rights to speak the native tongue and teach children in it, know history and pay tribute to their heroes who saved the world from fascism almost 80 years ago.
During all these years, we have known very well and said this publicly that the accusation of Donbass of terrorism is a fake. <...> Now the UN International Court of Justice has confirmed this. <...> This verdict refuted Kiev’s main argument in justifying the war it unleashed against civilians.
