Avert new Chernobyl says Tajani on Zaporizhzhia

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 8 - The risk of creating a 'new Chernobyl' must be averted at the Russia-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in eastern Ukraine where Moscow has accused Kyiv of launching very dangerous drone attacks, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Monday.
    "I'm worried by the ongoing war," said Tajani, who is also deputy premier, answering questions on the attacks.
    "We have always said this: a free zone must be created around Zaporizhzhia.
    "The nuclear power plant represents an opportunity, bu also a risk. It is well and good that the forces on the field should not fight around or inside the plant, we must avert another Chernobyl.
    "Let's hope that in any case common sense will prevail." (ANSA).
