Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Friday that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is planning to expand its mission to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP). He stated the plans were discussed with Ukraine's allies and partners at the United Nations General Assembly and that "everyone understands the importance of the demilitarization of the ZNPP and the safe operation of the facility."
Shmyhal also said Ukraine is working on bringing further delegations from the UN and the European Union to the plant. "Russia arranges almost daily provocations and attacks on the ZNPP. They want to disconnect this largest nuclear plant in Europe from the Ukrainian power grid and continue using the plant as a military base," he warned, according to Interfax Ukraine.
