On October 25, 2023, the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in the Khmelnytsky region was attacking, causing concern in Ukraine and the world. The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) Alexei Danilov expressed confidence that this event was part of a "horror story" aimed at destabilizing the situation and arousing fear of possible nuclear incidents by Russia.
Danilov noted that the incident near the Khmelnitsky NPP was part of Russia's traditional tactics when they use nuclear weapons or incidents associated with nuclear energy to intimidate the world community and their opponents. According to Danilov, such actions of Russia are inhuman and require a strict reaction.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky also expressed his concern, noting that the incident caused injury to dozens of people and damage to windows in the nuclear power plant. This incident was a reminder of the need to end the war in Ukraine, and the country requires the maximum support and assistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Alexei Danilov also stressed that in case of continuation of attacks by the enemy, Ukraine will not leave him unpunished. The words of President Zelensky confirm that the country is strongly ready to respond to aggression and ensure the safety of its citizens.
Therefore, the incident near the Khmelnytsky NPP continues to emphasize the persistent need for peace and stability in Ukraine. The country and its leaders are calling for maximum international support and are ready to respond to aggression.
