The Statement of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace (CNDP), India Regarding Ukraine’s Nuclear Plant

[August 13, 2022]

"CNDP, India, strongly endorses the call by the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres for the immediate establishment of a demilitarized zone around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine. Damage to it, as a result of the ongoing armed conflict and exchanges, would have radioactive consequences too terrible to contemplate. Hence the necessity of securing such a demilitarized zone around the plant."

"CNDP also calls on the Indian government to publicly and promptly endorse this call for a demilitarized zone around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant."
