ゼレンスキー大統領のオンライン日本国会演説について
3/24日経「日本、対ロ制裁継続を」。セレンスキー大統領がロシア軍がチェルノブイル原子力発電所を制圧したことと化学兵器の使用を懸念されることに振れたことについて、日経は福島第1原発爆発と地下鉄サリン事件を意識したと言えそうだと、NYT（下記）に比べ歯切れが良くない。
ゼレンスキー大統領の演説自体、これまでに比べ直接的ではない。
3/26日経春秋では、「必死に言葉を発する若き大統領がいる。ラフなTシャツ姿で胸を張って」と称賛しているが、残念ながら事実誤認がある。

Tシャツ姿が「代名詞」のようなゼレンスキー氏ですが、長袖の服を着ていたのは日本とドイツだけ。さらに、ドイツの時は襟を開いたくつろいだシャツ姿でしたが、日本向けでは襟元をぴっちりと上まで閉めていました。日本の後に出演したフランス議会ではいつもの「Tシャツ姿」に戻っていましたから、意図的に長袖姿を選んだと思われます。

In brief remarks to Japan’s Parliament on Wednesday, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine appealed to the Asian nation’s memories of nuclear disaster and a chemical weapon attack in an attempt to persuade lawmakers there to increase their support for his country amid the Russian invasion.
Over the course of 12 minutes, the Ukrainian leader warned that Russia’s invasion could set off a nuclear catastrophe in Chernobyl, invoking memories of the 2011 meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant that displaced thousands and led countries like Germany to reconsider their own use of nuclear power.
He also alluded to another national tragedy by warning that Russia could use chemical weapons, such as the nerve gas sarin, in Ukraine. In 1995, members of a Japanese cult used the chemical in an attack on Tokyo’s subway system, killing 14 people and injuring nearly 6,000.
And he thanked Japan for being the first Asian nation to take action against Russia after its invasion and urged lawmakers to continue sanctions against the country.
Mr. Zelensky told lawmakers that the invasion had turned Chernobyl into a “war zone,” adding that “when the war is over, it will take years to survey the extent of the environmental damage.” He said the war could have dangerous consequences for another 15 nuclear reactors in four locations in Ukraine.
Although the Japanese government and public have rallied to Ukraine’s defense, it is unclear what additional measures can be taken by the country, whose pacifist Constitution limits its ability to respond.
