The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Ukrainian diplomats, and the country's nuclear experts are "in constant touch” and trying to send a team of inspectors into the nuclear power plant that Russia has captured in Zaporizhzhia said Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“Only absolute transparency and the controlled situation at and around the ZNPP can guarantee a gradual return to normal nuclear safety for the Ukrainian state, for the international community, and for the IAEA,” Zelenskyy said in his night video address.
Zelenskyy underlined the demands made by Ukraine and the international community for the Russian army to leave the nuclear power plant's grounds and said “Russian army must withdraw from the territory of the nuclear power plant and all neighboring areas, and take away its military equipment from the plant. This must happen without any conditions and as soon as possible.”
“Ukraine is ready to ensure proper control of the IAEA, and the relevant mission can be legally sent to the Zaporizhzhia plant, very fast and as efficiently as possible,”
