The address of the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk on the Day of Honoring the Participants of the Liquidation of the Consequences of the Chornobyl Disaster

Today we honour the liquidators of the Chornobyl disaster.

This tragedy will forever be a terrible wound in our history, a terrible man-made, environmental and humanitarian disaster.

We will always remember the feat of the Heroes who saved not only Ukraine but the world at the cost of their own lives.

As then, so now, we are again defending not only Ukraine but the world. Today we are witnessing nuclear blackmail, because the aggressor's occupation of Zaporizhzhia NPP and shelling near nuclear power plants is nothing but nuclear terrorism. And today it is a deliberate crime of the russian occupiers and a deliberate threat to humanity. But today the world can and must stop the terrorist state.
