The United States is closely monitoring media reports, statements by politicians, as well as the latest developments around the Zaporizhzha NPP and currently, the administration cannot confirm any reports of increased radiation levels in the vicinity of the facility captured by the Russians.

That’s according to John Kirby, the U.S. National Security Council spokesman, who spoke at a Friday briefing at the White House, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"We're continuing to monitor it closely. We are able to monitor some radiation sensors that are around the plant and thus far we've detected no elevated levels of radioactivity," the White House spokesman noted.

He emphasized that the United States continues to closely monitor the developments.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on Thursday, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine stressed the need for the complete de-occupation of the Zaporizhzhia NPP by Russia. He emphasized that anyone who turned a blind eye to its capture by Russia was actually contributing to terror.
