Zelensky noted that diesel generators immediately went to work to provide energy to the station itself.
“The world must understand what this threat is: if the diesel generators are not turned on, if the automation and our plant personnel do not work after the blackout, we will be forced to overcome the consequences of a radiation accident. Russia has put Ukraine and all Europeans on the brink of a radiation accident. disaster,” Zelensky said.
