Sibiga also said that China and India should put pressure on Moscow to stop Russia’s nuclear blackmail.
“We also call on all states that value nuclear safety, including China and India, to demand that Russia stop its reckless attacks on nuclear energy that risk a catastrophic incident,” the statement said.
Shelling of Ukraine
On the night of November 8, Russia launched a large-scale combined attack on Ukraine, using missiles and drones to strike energy infrastructure.
