STA, 4 March 2022 - The Slovenian Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned "Russia's attack on the nuclear power station in Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine, which poses a threat to health and security in entire Europe". In the statement published on Twitter, the ministry has also urged an end to attacks on Ukraine.
The Ukrainian agency for nuclear safety said on Friday that the Russian forces had seized the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station. A fire broke out before the capture and following the Russian attack, but it has been already extinguished.
The ministry also said that together with several other countries, Slovenia had launched an initiative for an international investigation of atrocities perpetrated in Ukraine led by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, and that the country supported proposals to hold an emergency session of the UN Security Council on Ukraine.
