EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded that Russian forces withdraw from the territory of the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia.
Zelensky said this during his daily video message. He said the Russian army “must withdraw from the territory of the nuclear power plant and all neighboring areas, and take away its military equipment from the plant.”
“This must happen without any conditions and as soon as possible. Ukraine is ready to ensure proper control by the IAEA (the International Atomic Energy Agency), and the relevant mission can be sent to the Zaporizhzhia plant in a legal way, very fast and as efficiently as possible,” he said.
He added that “Ukrainian diplomats, our nuclear scientists and the IAEA are in constant touch” and are working on “sending the IAEA mission to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.”
Zelensky is due to meet UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Thursday in the Ukrainian city of Lviv.
In his address, Zelensky also referred to the current situation on the front lines in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions, saying, “the Avdiivka area, Bakhmut area, Kharkiv region, and some other regions are where the most difficult fighting is going on right now.”
The Ukrainian military acknowledged Wednesday that Russian forces had “partial success” in advancing on some parts of the front west of Donetsk city.
