 Shelling has caused a complete blackout in Energodar and compromised the safety operation of the nearby Saporizia nuclear power plant. There is now a low chance that reliable off-site power can be restored. The shelling is putting in danger operators and their families, making it difficult to adequately staff the plant. Together, this has significantly increased the risk of a nuclear accident. Let me be clear, the shelling around Saporizia nuclear power plant must stop and a nuclear safety and security protection zone agreed immediately. A nuclear power plant can never be a pawn of war. Its fate must not be decided by military means. The consequences of such action are far too grave. The IAA is at Saporizia nuclear power plant and can facilitate the zone's implementation. There is no time to waste.
