IAEA passes resolution urging Russia to immediately withdraw from Zaporizhzhya NPP

The IAEA General Conference, during its 68th session, adopted a resolution by 65 votes, calling on Russia to immediately withdraw from the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and return control of the facility to Ukraine.
Ukraine’s Energy Ministry reported the resolution reaffirms that Ukrainian nuclear power plants, including Zaporizhzhya NPP, must operate under Ukraine’s full sovereign control. The IAEA calls for the immediate withdrawal of Russian military and other personnel from the ZNPP site and the return of the station to Ukrainian control to ensure its safety.
