The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine appealed to the IAEA to check the situation at the Zaporizhzhia NPP after the accident at its diesel reservoir. This was announced by the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Georhiy Tykhyi, during a press conference, the correspondent of UNN reported.

We appealed to the IAEA with a request to check the situation, explain the consequences of the accident through a commission that is directly located on the territory of the occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP. We are waiting for reports from the IAEA on this matter now 

The spokesman drew attention to the fact that similar cases may continue to occur at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, which was warned to IAEA representatives.

We are also discussing with the IAEA that similar cases will continue to occur at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, given that the works at the Zaporizhzhia NPP are carried out by unauthorized unlicensed personnel 

He also added that Ukraine is working with the IAEA to release employees of the Zaporizhzhia NPP who are in Russian captivity.

We have opened a separate track of interaction with the IAEA, humanitarian, where we discuss the possibility of interaction with MAGTE to return the captured employees of the Zaporizhzhia NPP to the territory of Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting for all its people, civilians and military. Zaporizhzhia NPP employees are part of our dialogue
