The safeguards will be drawn up on the basis of International Atomic Energy Agency criteria, a statement from the French presidency said.The announcement comes after Russian troops seized the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant — the country's largest — in the southeastern city of Enerhodar.
The attack caused global alarm, evoking memories of the world’s worst nuclear disaster, at Ukraine’s Chernobyl.The International Atomic Energy Agency said no radiation spikes were detected, however.
The chief of the U.N. agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, said a Russian "projectile" hit a training center, not any of the six reactors.Two out of the six reactors at the plant, Europe’s biggest, are now operating after Russian forces took control of the site, Ukraine's nuclear regulator told the International Atomic Energy Agency.The regulator said it has been able to keep in touch with staff at the plant via telephone.Zelenskyy criticized NATO for refusing to impose a no-fly zone over his country.
