The International Nuclear Energy Agency (IAEA) has launched a series of negotiations to create a nuclear safety zone at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which the Russian military has occupied since March 2022.

IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi announced this on Twitter.

He informed that he was meeting with US Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs, Bonnie Jenkins.

Urgent establishment of Nuclear Safety and Security Protection Zone at Zaporizhzhya NPP in focus. Work to keep Ukraine's nuclear sites safe and secure remains priority and US support is highly appreciated.
