Possible inspection of the Zaporozhye NPP

Head of Russian diplomacy Sergey Lavrov he referred to his conversation with the French foreign minister Ekaterina Columnabout a possible visit of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the Zaporozhye NPP.

In a telephone conversation, the ministers “discussed in detail the situation around the Zaporozhye NPP and the existing possibilities for organizing a visit to the plant by an IAEA mission,” the Russian ministry said in a statement.

Lavrov insisted that Ukraine continue to bomb “Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, as well as the surrounding area, which puts all citizens of Europe at risk of a nuclear catastrophe.” The station has been controlled by the Russian army since early March and has been hit in recent weeks, for which Moscow and Kyiv blame each other.
