Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal has called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Union (EU) to ensure the arrival of peacekeeping teams from the EU, the IAEA, and the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (SNRIU) to all five nuclear plants in Ukraine.

"Radiation has no boundaries. Possible affected area – the whole world. Once again, I call on the international community, represented by the IAEA and the EU, to ensure the arrival of peacekeeping teams consisting of representatives of the EU, IAEA and SNRIU to all five nuclear power plants in Ukraine. This is a security issue for the whole world!" the Prime Minister urged in his video message.

As reported, Ukraine asked the IAEA to apply to NATO with a demand to close access to the airspace over its nuclear facilities, that is, to introduce an A2 / AD zone (Anti Access / Area Denial) and to intensify actions to prevent acts of terrorism immediately after the capture by the Russian troops of the Chornobyl zone.

On March 4, the Russian occupiers seized Zaporizhia NPP, having previously shelled it, as a result of which a fire broke out in the administrative building. The IAEA, despite the warning of Ukraine about the threat of nuclear terrorism from the aggressor country of the Russian Federation, has so far limited itself to conclusions that the security system at Zaporizhia NPP has not been affected, and calls to stop hostilities near nuclear facilities.
