Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hosted experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Kiev. “The arrival of the IAEA mission in Ukraine is certainly one of the most important security issues of Ukraine and the world today,” he said, according to a video shown on public television on Tuesday. Zelenskyi called for an “immediate demilitarization” of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant as a goal.
A demilitarized zone must be created around the plant. “And the transfer of the nuclear power plant under the control of the Ukrainian state,” Zelenskyy said. This is the only way to rule out all nuclear risks. The 14 experts, led by IAEA chief Rafael Grossi, travel the front line to the nuclear power plant in the Russian-controlled area. Your job is to check the state of the power plant.
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the nuclear power plant came under control of the Russian army in early March. Buildings and the nearby town of Enerhodar were repeatedly shelled by rocket launchers and artillery. Kiev denies any responsibility and accuses the Russian troops of having shot themselves. With its six reactors, the nuclear power plant is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.
