During the talks, in particular, the topic of the situation around the Zaporizhzhya NPP was touched upon.

The presidents called for the demilitarization of the ZNPP, "which is possible only through the withdrawal of Russian troops."

In addition, it is noted that Macron asked Zelensky about the needs of Ukraine, which France could help meet.

Earlier, Ivan Nechaev, deputy director of the information and press department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, called the proposal for a demilitarized zone near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant unacceptable, noting that this would make the plant more vulnerable.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, also said that the transfer of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant under the control of Ukraine could lead to a nuclear catastrophe in the world.
