Ukraine President Zelensky made tough remarks on September 27, saying that if Russia imposed a power outage on Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, Moscow would face the same retaliation.

What is even more shocking is that former Ukraine officials revealed that if the war fails, Ukraine may take extreme measures, including attacking Russian nuclear power plants or even blowing up its own nuclear power plants.

This series of remarks and actions has not only escalated the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but also raised global concerns about the possibility of a nuclear disaster.

As the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has become a high-risk area in the Russia-Ukraine war. According to the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the external power supply of this nuclear power plant has been interrupted for more than three days due to the war, and it currently relies on diesel generators to maintain the operation of the cooling system. However, this emergency measure is not a long-term solution. Once the cooling system fails, it may cause the nuclear fuel to heat and melt out of control, causing a disaster similar to the Fukushima nuclear accident.

Maintenance work has been complicated by shelling and drone attacks by Ukrainian troops on the nuclear power plant. Russian operators say the situation is under control, but nuclear safety issues remain unresolved. The security threat of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant not only affects the Ukrainian and Russian countries, but is likely to have far-reaching implications for the whole of Europe and even the world.

Meanwhile, Ukraine¡¯s ¡°co-extermination¡± strategy has also caused widespread concerns.The former Ukrainian president¡¯s adviser, Arestovich, has revealed that if Ukraine defeats, they could take extreme measures, including attacking Russian nuclear power plants and even bombing nuclear power plants in Ukraine.

This strategy is considered a nuclear blackmail, aimed at forcing the international community to provide more support to Ukraine.

The painful lessons of the Chernobyl nuclear accident are still vivid in my mind. If similar incidents happen again, nuclear pollution may spread all over the world, causing a comprehensive environmental, health and economic crisis.

Zelensky¡¯s harsh statements also included Ukraine¡¯s direct threat to Moscow, he said, saying that Ukraine already has the ability to attack Moscow¡¯s power facilities, especially if it acquires U.S. tactical cruise missiles, which would pose a substantial threat to the Russian capital.

However, the U.S. government has explicitly refused to supply tactical-axis missiles to Ukraine, instead of considering providing ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles. Military experts point out that while the existing cruise missiles in Ukraine can technically threaten Moscow, their number and performance are not sufficient to change the pattern of the war.

Ukraine's military capabilities largely depend on the support of Western countries. According to statistics, the United States and the European Union provide hundreds of billions of dollars in military and economic assistance to Ukraine every year. However, this support is not without limitations.

Take the Tomahawk cruise missile as an example. Its production cycle is long, and domestic demand in the United States already accounts for most of its production capacity, which cannot meet the needs of Ukraine. In addition, the launch platform of the Tomahawk missile is complex, and Ukraine does not currently have complete conditions for use.

The safety issue of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and Ukraine's extreme tactics have attracted widespread attention from the international community.

The UN and IAEA have repeatedly called on both parties to the conflict to avoid using nuclear power plants as military targets, and urged all parties to restore the external power supply of Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plants as soon as possible. The use and protection of nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants has always been the red line of the international community, and any breakthrough may lead to irreversible disasters.
