The UN is ready to support an IAEA mission to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant from Kiev if both Russia and Ukraine agree, Secretary General Antonio Guterres told a meeting of the UN Security Council on Ukraine on Wednesday.
"In close contact with the IAEA, the UN Secretariat has assessed that we have in Ukraine the logistics and security capacity to support any IAEA mission to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant from Kyiv, provided both Russia and Ukraine agree," the secretary general said.
"I welcome expressions of support for such a mission and urge that to happen as soon as possible," he added. "I remain gravely concerned about the situation in and around Europe’s largest Nuclear Power Plant in Zaporizhzhia. The warning lights are flashing," the UN chief stressed.
