''We must not allow nuclear technology to be used for blackmail and aggression. We must do everything possible to protect the nuclear safety and security of Ukraine, Europe and the world'', caretaker Premier Dimitar Glavchev said at the Ukraine Peace Summit in Switzerland. Glavchev made a statement during today's session "Ensuring Nuclear Safety and Security in Ukraine", announced the government press office.

 He recalled that the responsibility for nuclear security in Ukraine lies entirely with Russia. ''The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which has been occupied by Russia for over two years, is central to our concerns as the International Atomic Energy Agency’s security requirements have been violated'', Premier Glavchev said. In his words, turning Europe's largest nuclear power plant into a military base is a manifestation of gross irresponsibility, undermining trust in the future development of nuclear energy.
