“The message is clear: Russia continues to undermine nuclear safety and security through its illegal war against Ukraine,” Sibiga wrote.
He thanked partners for their unwavering support and called for measures to stop Russia’s nuclear blackmail.
“It is time to increase pressure on the aggressor so that it stops attacking the Ukrainian civilian population and nuclear infrastructure and returns the Zaporizhzhia NPP to its rightful owner—Ukraine,” Sibiga emphasized.
Today, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Energy Anatoliy Kutsevol participated in a meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, where he briefed international partners on the current security situation surrounding Ukrainian nuclear facilities.
