Putin Says He’ll Support IAEA Mission to Russian-Occupied Nuclear Power Plant

HeadlineAug 22, 2022

In news from Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed support for sending experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency to monitor the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Putin made the comment in a call with French President Emmanuel Macron. In recent weeks Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of attacking Zaporizhzhia, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Russia has controlled the plant since March, but Ukrainian workers continue to operate it. On Sunday, President Biden discussed the situation at Zaporizhzhia by phone with Macron, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. In a joint statement, the leaders called on the IAEA to visit the plant “as soon as feasible” and for military operations to be avoided near the plant.
