Exclusive: Zelenskyy tells David Muir 'Russians using Zaporizhzhia as nuclear weapon'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an exclusive interview with ABC "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir in Kyiv accused the Russian military of using the massive Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant as a "weapon" in Moscow's invasion.
"You see, they occupied our nuclear station, six blocks. The biggest in Europe. It means six Chernobyls; it means the biggest danger in Europe. So, they occupied it. So that is-- means that they use nuclear weapon. That is [a] nuclear weapon," Zelenskyy told Muir from the presidential office.
"There shouldn't be any military personnel. There shouldn't be any military equipment on the territory. And there shouldn't be the workers of nuclear power plant who are-- surrounded by people with firearms," Zelenskyy added.
The nuclear plant in southeastern Ukraine -- the largest in all of Europe -- has seen intense shelling in recent weeks as Russia's invasion morphs into a grinding artillery battle with neither side winning much new territory.
