"Zaporizhia Nuclear Plant is on the brink,” - Bishop Jan Sobilo called for prayer

"The consequences can be very serious, not only for the region but also for Zaporizhia because the Kakhovka reservoir is intended for the cooling of the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant. Currently, the red light is flashing above us because if the nuclear power plant is not cooled according to the plan, it may stop, and its operation will go out of control. Furthermore, there is a great threat of an environmental catastrophe: when the water recedes, huge areas will be left silted. Organisms living in the water, when stranded on land, will start dying and decomposing, and the consequences will be dreadful. Therefore, the coming days will be decisive – they will show us how irreparable the situation that has arisen is. Rebuilding the dam to hold back the water in the conditions of war is a very challenging task because no construction company will be able to undertake the work. So let us pray that the Lord protects us and prevents the enormous evil that threatens us," emphasized Bishop Jan Sobilo.

It should be noted that on June 6, 2023, around 2:30 am, Russian occupiers detonated the dam of the Kakhovka reservoir. The Main Intelligence Directorate stated that the Russian demolition of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station intensifies the threat of a nuclear catastrophe and that this terrorist act has created a deadly danger for Ukrainian citizens in settlements on both sides of the Dnipro River below the Kakhovka reservoir.
