I am finishing my first visit to #Ukraine’s #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.
@iaeaorg is here to stay and will maintain a continued presence at #ZNPP.
2
The day has come, @iaeaorg's Support and Assistance Mission to #Zaporizhzhya (ISAMZ) is now on its way. We must protect the safety and security of #Ukraine’s and Europe’s biggest nuclear facility. Proud to lead this mission which will be in #ZNPP later this week.

Russian soldiers are reportedly retreating from the nuclear power plant in occupied #Zaporizhzhya in #Ukraine.

Our team at #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant informed me this morning that the plant has lost all of its external power for the 2nd time in five days. Its back-up diesel generators are now providing electricity for its nuclear safety and security functions.
5
I welcome the release of Ihor Murashov, Director General of #Ukraine’s #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant; I have received confirmation that Mr Murashov has returned to his family safely.

Shelling has caused a complete blackout in #Enerhodar and compromised the safe operation of the nearby #Zaporizhzhya NPP. This must stop & a Nuclear Safety & Security Protection Zone (NSSPZ) agreed immediately. An NPP can never be a pawn of war. bit.ly/3ROLXvx

Our team at #Zaporizhzhya confirms the offsite power line lost yday was restored & #ZNPP is reconnected to the grid—a temporary relief in a still untenable situation. A protection zone is needed now. I will travel to 🇷🇺 & will see 🇺🇦@ZelenskyyUa thereafter to establish the zone.
8
Arriving in Poland on the night train from #Ukraine after an intensive week of consultations with 🇷🇺 & 🇺🇦. Moving closer to the establishment of a protection zone for #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant—the plant's situation is untenable and we need immediate action to protect it.
9
On my way to 🇺🇦 #Ukraine to meet President @ZelenskyyUa & present a programme of assistance in the aftermath of the catastrophic Nova Kakhovka dam flooding. I will assess the situation at #Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant & conduct a rotation of ISAMZ with a strengthened team.
10
Today, I visited the #Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to assess the situation after the catastrophic Nova Kakhovka dam flooding.
11
On our way to Kyiv for important meetings. The need for a Nuclear Safety and Security Protection Zone (NSSPZ) around #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant is now more urgent than ever.
12
I have just addressed the #UNSC and launched a proposal to create a Nuclear Safety and Security Protection Zone (NSSPZ) in #Zaporizhzhya. This is based on the findings from our mission to the power plant there, outlined in our new report. bit.ly/3RkPbao
13
As agreed with 🇺🇦 President @ZelenskyyUa, after my meetings in St Petersburg I am coming back to Kyiv. The work on the establishment of a nuclear safety & security protection zone around #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant continues.
14
UPDATE—I've been informed by our team on site that external power to #Zaporizhzhya NPP is restored. #ZNPP's operator says this morning's outage was caused by shelling damage to a far off sub-station, highlighting how precarious the situation is. We need a protection zone ASAP. twitter.com/rafaelmgrossi/…
15
I met 🇺🇦@ZelenskyyUa today in Zaporizhzhya City & had a rich exchange on the protection of the #Zaporizhzhya NPP and its staff. I reiterated the full support of the @iaeaorg to #Ukraine’s nuclear facilities.
16
My statement from the contact point between Ukrainian and Russian forces as we return from the #Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant.
17
After concerning developments following the destruction of the #Kakhovka HPP dam, I will be leading the next rotation of our @iaeaorg Support and Assistance Mission to #Zaporizhzhya NPP (ISAMZ) next week with a reinforced team. Crucial moment for nuclear safety. twitter.com/ZelenskyyUa/st…
18
In a Kyiv bunker with 🇺🇦 Foreign Minister @DmytroKuleba, we are making progress towards the establishment of a nuclear safety and protection zone around #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.
19
Timely conversation with 🇺🇦 #Ukraine President @ZelenskyyUa on the eve of my visit to #Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant where I will assess the situation after the catastrophic Nova Kakhovka dam flooding.
20
The resumption of direct shelling, hitting #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant’s sole source of external power, is tremendously irresponsible. #ZNPP must be protected. I will soon travel to 🇷🇺 Russia & again to 🇺🇦 Ukraine to agree on a protection zone. This is an imperative. twitter.com/iaeaorg/status…

Excellent to meet 🇫🇷 President @EmmanuelMacron as part of the establishment of a Nuclear Safety and Security Protection Zone (NSSPZ) at #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.
🙏 #France, thank you for your support and endorsement.
22
On my way to #Zaporizhzhya NPP to assess first-hand the #nuclear safety & security situation at the facility. I will continue my efforts to protect the nuclear plant during the ongoing military conflict, & lead our next regular rotation of @iaeaorg experts to & from the site.
23
Excellent meeting w/ 🇺🇦 @ZelenskyyUa on the current situation. I reiterated @iaeaorg will continue to be guided by int'l law & we made progress towards a nuclear safety & security protection zone at #Zaporizhzhya NPP. I'll return to Kyiv soon to continue this important exchange.
24
Back in Vienna after @iaeaorg’s Support and Assistance Mission to #Zaporizhzhya (ISAMZ). Very grateful to my wonderful team and especially to @UN and SG @antonioguterres, for his support and @UNDSS and @UN_OpSupport for their indispensable role in this complex operation.

#Russia: Two privates and a corporal from a #Moscow regiment punished by their Russian army commander in occupied #Zaporizhzhya. They've been in the hole for more than 2 days in freezing temperatures.
