War in Ukraine: Zelensky accuses Russia of nuclear terrorism 40 years after Chernobyl

Conflict – “The world must not allow this nuclear terrorism to continue,” Zelensky declared, referring to the war triggered by Russia

New Russian bombardments in Ukraine on Sunday killed at least three people, after particularly intense strikes the day before.
