President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that during his conversation with US President Donald Trump, the issue of restoring the occupied Zaporizhjya NPP was discussed.
It was not about all nuclear power plants, but exclusively about Zaporozhye NPP, which is currently under temporary occupation and remains in danger from the presence of the Russian military, Zelensky emphasized.
This does not work precisely because Russia holds it illegally, ”said Zelensky
He announced this on March 20 during an online briefing, commenting on the Belo House statement about the US offering for Ukrainian nuclear power plants to guarantee their safety.
The president added that, talking with Trump, they discussed whether Ukraine could restore the station.
The head of the state also said that Trump was wondering whether the Ukrainian authorities were considering the opportunity to attract the United States to restore ZPP.
I replied that yes, if it were possible to modernize, invest money and much more. We are ready to discuss this with you. But we talked exclusively about one station under the temporary occupation of Russia, ”Zelensky said.
Currently, there is no stage of negotiations on the transfer of ZPP under the control of Ukraine. According to Zelensky, the station will not work under occupation, as well as if everything is busy with the station, and at any time the Russians will be able to blow it up.
The US Department of Energy confirmed that they are ready to capture the Ukrainian nuclear power plant.
If it is useful to achieve this goal [миру]There are no problems, we can do this, ”said the American Minister of Energy Chris Wright on Fox News.
