The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine welcomed this important initiative, noting that the resolution explicitly recognizes attacks on electrical substations as a threat to nuclear safety.
The resolution calls on the IAEA to continue assessing the consequences of the damage to the energy infrastructure and on Member States to increase financial, technical and political support to strengthen Ukraine's energy security.
