“This is an important mission, and we are doing everything to make it safe and efficient,” he said.
According to Nikolenko, the IAEA mission is now going to the Zaporizhzhya NPP, the experts should record violations of nuclear and radiation safety standards and norms at the ZNPP against the backdrop of the Russian occupation.
“Ukraine’s position remains unchanged: the nuclear power plant must be immediately demilitarized, de-occupied and transferred under the full control of the Ukrainian government,” Nikolenko said.
The spokesman of the Foreign Ministry recalled that Russian troops were illegally stationed on the territory of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe for almost six months.
“The seven basic principles of the peaceful use of nuclear technology and nuclear energy have been grossly violated. The world is on the brink of a new technological environmental and humanitarian disaster because of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and the continued irresponsible actions of the occupiers that’s Russian,” he said.
According to Nikolenko, the international community should increase the pressure on the Russian Federation until the complete demilitarization and de-occupation of the nuclear power plant and its return under the control of Ukraine.
