«Worse than Chernobyl»: Zelensky on the Possible Future of Donbas and Crimea

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated in an interview with Le Figaro that the future of Donbas and Crimea could resemble that of the "Chernobyl disaster zone". This was reported by the RIA Novosti agency.

"It will be a dead territory. Worse than Chernobyl," the Ukrainian president said.

According to Zelensky, residents of the unrecognized republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as those in Crimea, can avoid such a future if they begin to consider themselves Ukrainians.
