Zelensky and Macron insist on asking for guarantees for the security of Zaporizhia after the IAEA notice

The presidents of France and Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron and Volodymyr Zelenskyhave insisted this Saturday that the safety of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in Zaporizhia, the largest in Europe, be guaranteed.

The last reactor that was still in operation was deactivated last Monday due to the succession of bombings in the vicinity, which have continued in recent days.

The CEO of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) -the UN nuclear agency-, Raphael Grossimade a dramatic warning this Friday about a possible accident at that plant, occupied by Russia, after a bombing cut the external electrical connection with the plant the night before.

In their conversation this Saturday, Macron and Zelensky considered “very worrying” the situation in Zaporizhiaaccording to a source from Elíseo, and underlined their support for the work of the IAEA.

They have also emphasized the demand for the withdrawal of Russian troops of the area to ensure the safety of nuclear facilities.

In addition, Macron asked Zelensky about the situation on the war front, after the important advances of the Ukrainian troops in recent days in areas hitherto controlled by Russian troops in the area east of Kherson.
