Ukraine's Minister of Energy German Galushchenko had an "urgent" telephone conversation with his US counterpart Jennifer Granholm about the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant early Friday, according to a statement from Ukraine's Ministry of Energy, APA reports citing CNN.
The fire at the facility broke out in the early hours of Friday morning, and has since been extinguished with no casualties, according to the Ukrainian State Emergency Service.
"The enemy is not concerned about nuclear and radiation security," Galushchenko said, according to the statement. He added that Russia was "indifferent to the human lives of Ukrainians, Europeans and their own citizens."
"Therefore, we demand not only a professional assessment of what is happening, but also real intervention, taking the toughest measures, including by NATO and the countries that possess nuclear weapons," he added.
