The Belarusian leader said that he had not discussed the situation around the Zaporozhye NPP with Russian President Vladimir Putin
MINSK, July 6. /tass/. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that a possible explosion at the Zaporizhia NPP will not end the Ukrainian conflict, but will cause enormous damage to all countries of the continent.
"Even if the station is blown up, this will not end the war. This will cause enormous damage to the whole of Europe, and not only to Europe, but to the Eurasian continent. It will also reach the American continents. But this will not end the war," he said at a meeting with representatives of foreign and Belarusian media, where a TASS correspondent is present.
Lukashenko also said that he had not discussed the situation around the NPP with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"We have not discussed the situation at the Zaporizhia NPP with President Putin. The situation is simple: if you, the Americans and Ukraine, do not want what you are talking about to happen there, it will not happen. Russia has no need to blow up the Zaporozhye NPP. It is in the hands of the Russians. Why blow it up?" - he stressed.
Earlier, Zelensky accused Russia of allegedly preparing a terrorist attack at the Zaporozhye NPP. Without presenting any evidence, he notified Brazil, India, China, the United States, as well as countries in Africa, the Middle East and Europe. The head of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, Igor Klimenko, said that "in case of a possible radiation leak at the NPP," exercises will be held in Ukraine, headquarters will be deployed in case of a possible emergency.
The press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov called Zelensky's statement another lie. Adviser to the CEO of Rosenergoatom concern Renat Karchaa, commenting on Zelensky's allegations about the alleged preparation of a terrorist attack by the Russian Federation at the Zaporozhye NPP, expressed the opinion that the statements of the Ukrainian leader may be a sign of Kiev's readiness to organize a terrorist attack or strike at the NPP to draw NATO into the Ukrainian conflict.
