MOSCOW, January 31. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky's statement about Ukraine's unwillingness to compromise on Donbass and the desire to fight for the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant threatens disaster for many nations, Viktor Vodolatsky, first deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on CIS affairs, Eurasian integration, and relations with compatriots, told TASS.

Earlier, Zelensky, in a conversation with journalists, again rejected a compromise on Donbass and operation of the Zaporozhye NPP. He said that Ukraine "will not give up Donbass and the Zaporozhye Plant to the Russians without a fight."

"By making such a statement, dictator Zelensky made it clear to the entire world community that he could use projectiles and long-range missiles at any time that could reach and damage the nuclear power plant. And this is an environmental disaster that will affect not only Russia and Ukraine, but also European countries. And this madness, of course, must be prevented by any means to prevent a new Chernobyl on our land," Vodolatsky said.

He said that Zelensky understands perfectly well that his hope for saving himself is the EU countries and Britain, which are ready to grant him asylum and ensure a further comfortable life at any moment.
