Damage to Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant would be ‘suicide’: UN chief

Published by

UN chief Antonio Guterres on Thursday warned that any damage to the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine would be “suicide”, following an upsurge in fighting around the facility.

Guterres said he was “gravely concerned” about the situation at the plant and said it had to be demilitarised, adding: “We must tell it like it is — any potential damage to Zaporizhzhia is suicide”.
