China Urges for End to Ukraine War After Reported Chernobyl Attack
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said during a regular briefing in Beijing that China “attaches high importance to the safety and security of nuclear facilities.”
He added that resolving the conflict ultimately depends on political agreement, stating: “The ultimate resolution of this issue is contingent on the political settlement of the conflict. Dialogue and negotiation is the only viable way out,” while urging all parties to work toward “early de-escalation and accumulate conditions for resuming dialogue and negotiation.”
The comments came after Ukraine accused Russia of launching an overnight drone strike on a nuclear storage site in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone on Sunday.
Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said a Russian drone hit a building at the country’s Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility, sparking a fire that was later extinguished.
Russia has not yet responded to the allegations regarding the reported attack on the facility.
