(ANSA) – ROME, AUGUST 10 – Russia has asked for a meeting of the UN Security Council “on the recent Ukrainian attacks against the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia and the catastrophic consequences that could entail”. A source from the Russian mission to the United Nations told the Tass agency. The meeting, according to Moscow’s request, should take place on 11 August.
Russia then appeals to the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, to take action to make it possible for the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (Aiea) to visit the Zaporizhzhia plant. Guterres “must not only speak in this sense, but he must make this visit happen,” said Igor Vishnevetsky, deputy director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control. Moscow said it had done “everything necessary” for the visit to take place, but accuses Kiev of preventing it so far. (HANDLE).
