"If there is an explosion, that's the end of everything. The end of Europe" – Zelenskyy on the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant
Source: Zelenskyy's video address
Verbatim: "Europe must wake up.
"The Europe's largest nuclear power plant is on fire right now.
"Russian tanks are shelling power units. These are tanks equipped with infrared thermal imaging cameras. [The Russians] know what they're targeting. They have been preparing for it.
"I call on everyone… who knows the word Chornobyl…
"Russia wants to repeat this [tragedy-ed.] and is already repeating it, but at six times the scale.
"Europeans, please wake up. Tell your politicians: 'Russian troops are shelling a nuclear power plant in Ukraine. The Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant…'
"We warn everyone: no other state has ever shelled nuclear power units.
"This is the first time in our history, in the history of mankind, that a terrorist state has resorted to nuclear terror.
"Russian propagandists have threatened to cover the world in nuclear ashes. Now, it's not just a threat. Now, it's a reality.
"The Russian troops must be stopped immediately.
"Shout at your politicians: 'Ukraine has 15 nuclear power units'.
"If there is an explosion, that's the end of everything. The end of Europe. This means the evacuation of Europe.
"Only immediate European action can stop Russian troops.
"Do not allow Europe to die from a catastrophe at the nuclear power plant".
