The demilitarization of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant depends on the IAEA and the international community.
Deputy Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Vadym Skibitskyi said this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.
“Much depends on the IAEA and its leadership, on the international community, which will still put pressure on the Kremlin to fulfill the basic conditions and secure not just the nuclear facility, but the entire region where the power plant is located,” he said.
According to Skibitskyi, the intelligence service does not rule out the possibility of either a planned attack or an incident leading to an accident at ZNPP.
“Therefore, we clearly advocate that the entire territory of the nuclear power plant should be demilitarized. All military units, weapons and military equipment should be withdrawn from there,” he said.
As reported, on June 22, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Russian Federation was considering a scenario of a terrorist attack at the Zaporizhzhia NPP and had prepared everything for this.
In addition, Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov informed that the Russians had mined a cooler at Zaporizhzhia NPP, and if it was disabled, there was a significant likelihood that there would be big problems.
