"The whole world must react immediately to drive out the occupants of the Zaporozhye power plant," the largest in Europe located in southern Ukraine and occupied by Russian troops since March 4, said the Ukrainian president in his daily video address.

“The situation is serious,” the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) told the UN Security Council on Thursday, demanding access to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant that Moscow and kyiv accuse each other of having bombed.

"The situation is serious and the IAEA must be authorized to carry out its mission in Zaporozhye as quickly as possible", declared Rafael Grossi, speaking on video during this emergency meeting of the Security Council.

"Time is running out," he insisted, as the IAEA has been trying for weeks to send a mission to inspect the plant, a mission that kyiv and Moscow accuse each other of holding back.
