Ми закликаємо Генеральну Асамблею ООН негайно створити демілітаризовану зону навколо станції, як це було зроблено в 1956 році, щоб зупинити конфлікт у Суецькому каналі. Ми закликаємо окремих осіб та організації організувати публічні протести, щоб привернути увагу до цієї кризи, і вимагати від Генеральної Асамблеї ООН діяти негайно, щоб запобігти катастрофі.

Ukraine is warning that Russia has planted mines in the cooling pools of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)also warns that as a result of Russia destroying the Nova Kakhovka dam, the nuclear plant has about two months of water for those cooling pools. We are especially alarmed at recent reports that Russia has started removing staff and soldiers from the plant.

A loss of water in the cooling pools could result in the spent fuel rods burning. If that happens, depending on the number of spent fuel rods and how densely packed they are, the release of radiation could be worse than the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. We call on the United Nations General Assembly to establish a demilitarized zone around the plant immediately, as they did in 1956 to halt the conflict in the Suez Canal.
