March 27 (UPI) -- The United Nations nuclear watchdog said Thursday it has begun discussions for another localized cease-fire for Ukraine's Russia-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to allow for urgently needed repairs.
The plant, Europe's largest, has been occupied by Russian forces since early in the war, which has repeatedly endangered and damaged the site.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has said that the situation at the plant is challenging and has warned about the risk the war poses to it.
The IAEA said Tuesday that the ZNPP lost connection to its sole remaining main power line after it was damaged and was now dependent on a single backup line that had only recently been reconnected to the plant.
