The IAEA urges Russia to immediately de-occupy the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and return the facility to Ukraine’s control.

The IAEA has approved a resolution titled Nuclear Safety, Security, and Safeguards in Ukraine, which states that Ukrainian nuclear power plants, including the Zaporizhzhia NPP, must operate under Ukraine’s full sovereign control, the Ministry of Energy reported.

“The IAEA calls for the immediate withdrawal of Russian military and other personnel from the ZNPP territory and the return of the plant under the control of Ukrainian authorities to ensure its safety,” the ministry’s statement read.
