Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has condemned the Russian strike on a building at Ukraine’s Centralized Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility (CSFSF) in the Kyiv region.

According to Ukrinform, Tsahkna commented on the attack in a post on X.

“Russia’s continued bombardment of Ukraine’s nuclear facilities, and its deliberate weaponisation of energy, is a calculated gamble with nuclear safety that pushes Europe closer to another catastrophe.,” he wrote.

The Minister said that this level of Kremlin recklessness cannot go unanswered and requires the strongest possible measures.

“No state can be permitted to play roulette with global nuclear security,” the Estonian official stressed.
