United States demanded that Ukraine return control of Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to Ukraine

The United States last week turned to the Russian Assembly in Washington Anatoly Antonov with a request to transfer full control over the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, EFE reports with reference to the American State Department.

According to the agency, last week a meeting was held on this topic on which the Russian ambassador was invited.

The agency indicates that the American officials at this meeting called on Moscow “to stop all military operations at the nuclear facilities of Ukraine and around them and transfer all control over the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to Ukraine.”

Note that in early March the Russian army seized the territory of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant – the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.
