At least four explosions occurred on Thursday evening in the area of the main Russian military airport on the Crimean peninsula of Belbek, located north of Sevastopol. The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said that Russia should allow representatives of the IAEA to the Zaporizhzhya NPP and immediately withdraw its troops from the territory of the NPP. “If they do not provide it, we can simply throw out the entire body of international documents on nuclear and radiological safety. Russia is destroying this international order,” Zelenskyy said.

“There are no objective obstacles that would prevent the IAEA mission from reaching the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Mr. Guterres and I discussed the parameters of this mission and the fact that it can get to the plant very quickly and quite safely legally through the free territory of our state,” said Zelensky, as quoted by news.ro.
“Russia should immediately and unconditionally allow IAEA representatives access to the NPP, as well as immediately and unconditionally withdraw its troops from the territory of the NPP. The world has the power to ensure this. If it does not provide this, we can simply throw out the entire corpus of international documents on nuclear and radiological safety.
