The situation at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant remains tense, so Russia should urgently skip the IAEA mission to the ZNPP. This was stated by the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell.
He called on Russia not to interfere with the operation of the plant, to fully connect the NPP to the Ukrainian network and to ensure the repair of damaged lines.
"The situation around the Zaporizhzhya NPP remains very worrying... IAEA experts should finally get permission to visit the facility," Borrell said.

Russia must ensure unhindered repair of damaged power lines and full reconnection to the Ukrainian electricity grid. @iaeaorg experts must finally be allowed to travel to the facility.
