Traditionally friendly ties between Ukr and Tn create favorable conditions for the successful development of mutually beneficial economic and trade cooperation
Russia is turning Ukrainian nuclear facilities into weapons of war against Ukraine and Europe.
Russia invaded and occupied the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 2022, putting the Exclusion Zone and its critical systems at risk.
The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant remains under temporary Russian occupation since 2022. Russia located military equipment and weapons on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, turning Europe’s largest nuclear facility into a military asset.
The international community must act together to protect people and the planet from another nuclear disaster that Russia is attempting to cause. #Chornobyl40
40 years ago, the Chornobyl disaster shook the world. Today, the threat of another nuclear catastrophe is once again real. Russia is deliberately targeting nuclear facilities in Ukraine, holding workers hostage, putting millions of lives at risk, and causing huge economic losses.
While the world invests in collective safety, Russia continues to endanger it. International pressure on Russia must be strengthened – for the sake of global security.

The Chornobyl New Safe Confinement, finished in 2019 to secure the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster, was deliberately struck by a Russian drone in 2025.
“Chornobyl” is the only correct spelling Ukraine asks the world to use.
Using Ukrainian transliterations respects Ukraine’s language and culture and moves away from Russian forms that were imposed by Russia during the Soviet era.
Like Kyiv, Chornobyl reflects Ukrainian pronunciation and thus aligns with the global practice of updating place names for linguistic correctness. The successful shift from the Russian spelling “Kiev” to the Ukrainian “Kyiv” is a clear example of this trend.
We remember and honour their courage and the price they paid. Their contribution and sacrifice are a reminder that safety must never be taken for granted. #Chornobyl40
Over 600,000 people were sent to contain the consequences of the Chornobyl disaster. The Soviet regime dispatched firefighters, engineers, and soldiers – in the early stages following the disaster, they were unaware of the true scale of the danger.
They built the first shelter, cleared radioactive debris, and stopped the catastrophe from spreading further. Their actions limited the impact of a disaster that could have been far worse.
📷 The disaster created costs that lasted for decades, from contaminated land to damaged infrastructure.
As Russia continues to threaten global nuclear security, the world must unite to prevent another disaster.

📷 Over 145,000 square kilometres were contaminated, with radioactive traces recorded across several countries.
📷 10 kilometres around the plant will not be safe for 20,000 years.
📷 Over 300,000 people were forced to leave their homes forever.
