After repeated shelling of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya power plant, Russian occupiers have now proposed a ceasefire in the disputed area. Kremlin sources say the United Nations and the EU’s chief diplomat would rather talk about this than about a withdrawal of Russian troops.
With this, Vladimir Rogov, a representative of the Russian occupation authorities, referred to the demands of 42 states and the EU. On Sunday, they had demanded that Russian occupation forces leave the area around the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant immediately. “Standing Russian military personnel and weapons at the nuclear facility is unacceptable,” it said in a statement accompanying the request.
safety principles violated
Russia is violating the safety principles to which all member states of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have committed themselves. The statement was signed by representatives from the US, UK, Norway, Australia and Japan, among others.
The Kremlin then proposed a ceasefire on Monday at the nuclear power plant in the city of Enerhodar. For days, the Russian government blamed the Ukrainian side for the attacks, which in turn blamed the Russian side. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned of a nuclear disaster last week. The same goes for the Ukrainian government, whose head Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for sanctions against Russia’s nuclear industry.
A withdrawal of Russian troops is unlikely for the time being, although it has recently been hinted at.
