FM Kuleba: The only way to ensure nuclear safety in Europe is to return ZNPP under Ukrainian control.

In a phone call with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi, Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba emphasized that the only way to ensure nuclear safety in Europe is to return Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) under Ukrainian control.

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Twitter, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“In today’s call with IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi, I emphasized that the only way to ensure nuclear safety and security in Europe is to return the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant under Ukrainian control. We will continue engaging constructively with IAEA to achieve this goal,” Kuleba wrote.

A reminder that, on September 15, 2022, the IAEA Board of Governors endorsed a resolution demanding that Russia end its occupation of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia NPP.
