There are no objective obstacles to prevent the IAEA mission from reaching Zaporizhzhіa NPP – Zelenskyу
President Volodymyr Zelenskyу said that Russia should withdraw its troops from the territory of the Zaporizhzhia NPP and allow IAEA representatives into the station.
The head of state noted that today, June 18, he discussed the details of the IAEA mission with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
– The one who organized nuclear blackmail definitely cannot be the “transporter” of any such missions. Russia should immediately and unconditionally allow IAEA representatives to the station and also immediately and unconditionally withdraw its troops from the territory of the station. The world has the power to ensure this. If it does not provide, it means that you can simply throw the entire body of international documents on nuclear and radiation safety into the trash. Russia is destroying this international order, – he said.
Zelenskyу called on the Secretary General to use the capabilities of the UN to ensure Russia’s compliance with all norms of international law regarding Ukrainian prisoners.
– We discussed sending a fact-finding mission to Olenivka. The full truth about this Russian terrorist attack must and will be established. Of course, they talked about the grain export initiative. The result is there – and not only for Ukraine, but also for the world, because it is felt that the severity of the global food crisis is decreasing. That is why there is a great need for more security, a greater volume of exports, more ships that can deliver Ukrainian food from our ports, – the president said.
Zelenskyу also thanked the President of Turkey Erdogan for his support, with whom they discussed various types of cooperation today.
– Thank you to Turkey for its willingness to take under patronage the reconstruction of Kharkiv and Kharkiv region. This is a mission for a truly powerful country. Today, the first step was taken – an agreement on infrastructure was signed. I called on both Mr. President and Mr. Secretary General to voice the strongest possible position regarding Russia’s planned pseudo-referendums in the occupied territory. Any pseudo-referendum will be a blow to the face of the international community, – added the President of Ukraine.
