There are no obstacles for IAEA mission to travel to Zaporizhia NPP through Ukraine’s territory – Zelensky
KYIV. Aug 19 (Interfax-Ukraine) – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that there were no obstacles for the IAEA mission to visit Zaporizhia NPP through the territory of Ukraine.
“There are no objective obstacles to prevent the IAEA mission from reaching the Zaporizhia NPP. Today, Mr. Guterres and I discussed the parameters of this mission and the fact that it can get to the plant very quickly and quite safely in a legal way through the free territory of our state. And just like that,” he said in his traditional video address on Thursday evening.
“The one who organized nuclear blackmail certainly cannot be the ‘transporter’ of any such missions. Russia must immediately and unconditionally allow IAEA representatives to the plant and also immediately and unconditionally withdraw its troops from the territory of the plant. The world has the power to ensure this. If it does not ensure this, we can simply throw the entire body of international documents on nuclear and radiation safety into the trash. Russia is destroying this international order,” he said.
According to Zelensky, he also called on the UN Secretary-General to use all the capabilities of the UN to ensure that Russia complies with all norms of international law on prisoners.
