President Volodymyr Zelensky and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi took part in the opening of a new permanent exhibition at the National Museum “Chernobyl” titled “Chernobyl: People and Meanings.”

Zelensky announced this on Facebook, posting a video of the event, according to Ukrinform.

The head of state heard a report from Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko on efforts to address the consequences of the Russian military’s drone strike on the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant containment structure, which occurred on February 14 of last year, as well as on the importance of continued support from partners.

Zelensky emphasized that it is important to remember the damage Russia caused during the seizure of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the threat to global nuclear safety posed by the shelling carried out by the aggressor country.

The president thanked the museum staff for their important work and for preserving the memory of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. He also expressed his gratitude to all those who responded to the disaster.

As reported by Ukrinform, Sunday, April 26, marks the 40th anniversary of the largest man-made disaster in human history—the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
