The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has adopted a resolution urging the return of the (ZAES) to Ukraine, Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reported on September 19.

Supported by 62 member states, the resolution calls for the withdrawal of all unauthorized personnel and emphasizes that all nuclear facilities must operate under the full sovereign control of competent Ukrainian authorities.

“Nuclear terrorism is unacceptable. Ukraine continues to insist on increasing international pressure on Russia to fully comply with all IAEA resolutions and return ZAES under Ukrainian control!” Lubinets stated.

The resolution also reaffirmed the mandate for the continuous operation of the IAEA mission despite Russia’s ongoing attempts to obstruct its work.

Previously, it was reported that IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi warned that Russia’s full invasion of Ukraine has compromised six key safety pillars at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
