In an interview with FRANCE 24, European Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic condemned Russia's attack on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as "absolutely irresponsible" and called the Russian invasion of Ukraine an "absolutely senseless war". Sefcovic also welcomed Ukraine's bid for EU membership, saying that Ukrainians are "dying for European values […] we want them in".
"Absolutely astonished": that's the reaction of European Commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic to the Russian military attack on a Ukrainian nuclear power plant. The Zaporizhzhia plant is Europe's largest and the Commissioner told FRANCE 24 that "the whole international community considers this to be absolutely irresponsible" by Vladimir Putin's forces – whom he accuses of engaging in an "absolutely senseless war".
