Ukraine condemns drone attack near UAE nuclear plant as 'utterly unacceptable' – Sybiha
In a post on social media platform X, Sybiha said Ukraine strongly condemns the drone attack that caused a fire near the Barakah nuclear site after a UAV struck an electrical generator, Ukrinform reports.
"Today's attack on the Barakah NPP perimeter in the UAE, in which a UAV struck an electrical generator, is utterly unacceptable. Ukraine strongly condemns any attacks endangering nuclear facilities," he wrote.
He noted that Ukraine has been experiencing Russia's deliberate strikes on power infrastructure including NPPs for more than four years.
Sybiha warned that such actions continue putting civilians, the region, and the whole world at grave risk.
"The protection of nuclear facilities everywhere is critical and must be guaranteed unconditionally," he said.
Earlier reports said that a drone strike in Abu Dhabi on May 17 caused a fire near the Barakah nuclear power plant.
