Forty-seven countries and the European Union at the IAEA Board of Governors meeting condemned Russia’s attack on Ukraine’s Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility near the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

According to Ukrinform, this was announced by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha on X.

“The message is clear: Russia continues to undermine nuclear safety and security through its illegal war against Ukraine,” Sybiha wrote.

He thanked partners for their unwavering support and called for action to stop Russia’s nuclear blackmail.

“It is time to increase pressure on the aggressor to stop strikes against Ukrainian civilians and nuclear infrastructure and return the Zaporizhzhia NPP to its rightful owner, Ukraine,” Sybiha stressed.
