Overview

• Russia's Foreign Ministry reaffirmed the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant as Russian property, rejecting any transfer of control to Ukraine or other nations.
• The U.S. suggested taking control of Ukrainian nuclear plants, including Zaporizhzhia, to ensure safety, but this has sparked concerns over Ukrainian sovereignty.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy clarified discussions with Donald Trump focused on investments in the Zaporizhzhia plant, not the transfer of all nuclear plants.
• The plant, Europe's largest, remains non-operational and faces significant damage, with experts divided on the feasibility of U.S. involvement in its management.
• The IAEA continues to monitor the site, while safety risks persist due to restricted access, lack of infrastructure, and ongoing conflict in the region.
