Kyiv The IAEA boss is hoping for talks with the Ukrainian power plant employees. He stressed that the group had received all the necessary guarantees for the long journey to the war zone, some 450 kilometers from Kyiv. “We are going to the occupied territory and this requires explicit guarantees not only from the Russian side but also from Ukraine,” he underlined. The convoy of ten white SUVs with UN markings set off early in the morning.
The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant was occupied by Russian troops shortly following the start of the Russian invasion at the end of February. Recently, the power plant site had come under fire more often. This had triggered international concerns regarding a nuclear catastrophe. Kyiv and Moscow each blame the other side. With its six blocks and a net output of 9500 megawatts, the nuclear power plant is the largest in Europe. Before the war it had more than 10,000 employees.
