Russia rejects idea of ​​demilitarization around Zaporozhye NPP

Only the operational team should remain at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, and all others will be prohibited from entering, the announcement said.

We fear that after the shelling of the nuclear power plant, Russian forces are now "raising the bar" and planning to carry out a terrorist attack, Ukrainian military intelligence said.

It gave no details.

Russia has not yet commented on this statement.

Earlier in the day, however, Moscow said Kyiv was planning a provocation at the nuclear plant tomorrow.

She presented no evidence to support this claim.

The tense situation in and around the Zaporizhia NPP was discussed today at a tripartite meeting in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv with the participation of the presidents of Ukraine and Turkey, Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.

On Monday, Zelensky called on the international community to take action to prevent an accident at the nuclear plant.

A catastrophe at the Zaporizhzhia NPP will endanger the whole of Europe, he emphasized and warned that "those who are now silent" may be affected.
