Ukraine is convening an extraordinary meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors on December 12 in response to Russia's attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

This was announced on social network X by Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Ukrinform reports.

“Ukraine is convening an extraordinary meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors on December 12 in response to Russian attacks on our critical energy infrastructure. Russian strikes on substations identified by the IAEA as important for nuclear safety & security pose a global threat,” Sybiha said.

As Ukrinform reported, Zaporizhzhia NPP was on the verge of blackout for the third time in November due to Russian shelling, which damaged one of the power lines.
