Washington supports the establishment of a demilitarized zone around Zaporizhia

The United States called on Russia Thursday to stop all its military operations inside and around Ukraine's nuclear plants, stressing its support for the establishment of a demilitarized zone around Zaporizhia, which was subjected to a new bombardment.

"Fighting near a nuclear plant is dangerous and irresponsible," a US State Department spokesman said, adding that "the United States continues to call on Russia to stop all military actions inside and around nuclear plants and bring them back under Ukrainian supervision. It supports Ukrainian calls for the establishment of a demilitarized zone inside the nuclear plant and in the its surroundings."
