President’s Office: IAEA, UN must demand that Russians withdraw from Zaporizhzhia NPP

The International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations should strictly demand that the Russians leave the territory of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and hand it over to the control of a special commission.

Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian President's Office, wrote this on his Twitter account, Ukrinform reports.

According to him, “this morning in Europe became possible just because the Zaporizhzhya NPP miraculously did not explode yesterday. The Russian Federation has seized it and is staging dangerous provocations there”.

Podolyak stressed that the IAEA and UN must demand that Russia withdraw from the NPP and hand it over to the control of a special commission.
