MOSCOW, August 25. /TASS/. The Russian State Duma Council statement regarding the threats created by Ukrainian shelling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant will be sent to the UN, the IAEA and national parliaments shortly, says Dmitry Vyatkin, First Deputy Head of the United Russia Duma faction.

"The statement of the Duma Council will be forwarded as soon as possible," Vyatkin said after the emergency Duma Council meeting.

He added that the Zaporozhye NPP is the largest power plant in Europe.

"Should any unfavorable event occur, should any part of the critical equipment be disabled, the plant will pose the most serious threat, a much larger one than when the Chernobyl disaster happened," he said.

"We understand that, but European leaders, European parliaments and citizens of European states must understand that as well. We are defending not only the station, we are protecting not only our own interests and interests of the people of Donbass and Malorossiya - we are protecting the entire Europe and the entire world, even, because, should an irreversible disaster occur, it will affect the entire world," Vyatkin said.

The lawmaker also pointed out that the statement emphasizes separately that Russian "servicemen are the main and the only guarantors of security at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant".
