Russia agreed that a team of independent inspectors can travel to the Moscow-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant via Ukraine, reports Aljazeera.
French President Emmanuel Macron’s office on Friday said, Putin “reconsidered the demand” that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) travel through Russia to the site, after the Russian leader himself warned fighting there could bring about a “catastrophe”.
Russian President Vladimir Putin dropped his demand that the IAEA team travel to the site via Russia, saying it could arrive via Ukraine.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres urged Moscow’s forces occupying the Zaporizhzhia plant in south Ukraine not to disconnect the facility from the grid and potentially cut supplies to millions of Ukrainians.
