Russian Envoy Says Ukrainian Attacks on Nuclear Facilities Becoming 'New Norm'
Russian diplomat Mikhail Ulyanov said attacks on nuclear facilities attributed to Ukrainian forces are becoming normalized, pointing to what he described as a "very severe decline" in the West.
Russian diplomat Mikhail Ulyanov said that attacks on nuclear facilities attributed to Ukrainian forces are becoming a "new norm," according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Ulyanov, a senior Russian envoy, pointed to what he described as a "very severe decline" in the West, though further specifics of his remarks were not detailed in the available report.
The comments reflect ongoing accusations from Russian officials regarding Ukrainian actions near nuclear sites amid the war between the two countries. Independent verification of the underlying claims was not immediately available.
Attacks near nuclear facilities have been a recurring point of concern throughout the war, with international bodies including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) having previously raised alarms about the safety of nuclear sites in the conflict zone, including the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Europe's largest.
Both Russia and Ukraine have at various points accused each other of actions endangering nuclear safety in the region, with each side blaming the other for specific incidents.
