The answer below:

news of the day

The International Atomic Energy Agency (AEIA) has completed its inspection of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

However, the UN body intends to “establish a continuous presence”.

Two IAEA inspectors are to remain at the plant permanently.

If Russia hailed a “very positive” visit, the Ukrainian head of state felt that the IAEA should have gone further.

“The main thing that should happen is the demilitarization of the territory of the plant.

[…] And it is regrettable that we have not yet heard the appropriate messages from the IAEA,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian Minister of Energy, for his part, considered that the power station must imperatively “come back under the control of Ukraine”.

sentence of the day

France knows what it takes to win a war for freedom.

This is a particularly flattering phrase uttered by the Ukrainian Defense Minister, Oleksii Reznikov, following an interview with the French Minister for the Armed Forces, Sébastien Lecornu.

The Ukrainian minister thanked his French counterpart for his "creative approaches" after the two men talked about "new ideas to strengthen the capabilities" of Ukraine in this war.

The number of the day

54.5%.

This is the decrease in grain exports from Ukraine for the 2022-2023 season, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.

kyiv will therefore export around half as much wheat in 2022 as it did last year, in particular due to the loss of land to Russian forces.

The trend of the day

Energy remains at the center of global concerns.

The G7 will "urgently" implement a Russian oil price cap and are encouraging a "broad coalition" of countries to participate, according to a statement released on Friday.

"The price cap will be set at a level based on a series of technical data and will be decided by the entire coalition before its implementation", write the seven countries in the statement, ensuring that future prices would be "communicated publicly in a clear and transparent manner”.

However, Russia does not hear it that way.


"We can say one thing with certainty: the adoption of such a decision would lead to a significant destabilization of the oil markets," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs Alexander Novak warned on Thursday that Russia would no longer sell oil to price-cap countries.
