The minister wrote about this on February 7 on the social network X.

He noted that Russia has recently intensified attacks on the Ukrainian nuclear energy system, which creates a direct threat of a nuclear accident. According to Sybiga, the accident did not occur only thanks to the professionalism of Ukrainian nuclear energy specialists.

The minister reported that recent Russian attacks are forcing Ukraine's three operating nuclear power plants to reduce capacity, sometimes trigger automatic emergency shutdowns, reduce production, or shut down units — and each such situation is a direct threat.

In addition, the IAEA recently recorded numerous drone flights near the sites in Rivne and Khmelnytskyi, which is classified as a significant security threat.

Russian terror is putting all of Europe at risk of a nuclear accident — partners and the media must pay attention to this and take measures to stop the nuclear terrorists in Moscow.
