US Deputy Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Bonnie Jenkins during a meeting of the UN Security Council said that in order to avoid challenges to nuclear security in Ukraine, the Russian invaders must withdraw their troops from the ZNPP territory, Ukrinform reports.. However, she added that now, for the safety of the Zaporozhye NPP, it is necessary to provide access to the IAEA, stop all military operations and create a demilitarized zone..

“The United States calls on the Russian Federation to immediately withdraw its forces from Ukrainian territory. This will allow Ukraine to restore the exceptional security and guarantees that it has maintained for decades at the facility (ZNPP - ed.. ),” said Jenkins..

At the same time, she stressed that Russia accuses Ukraine of attacks on a nuclear power plant in order to force others to ignore the fact that Russian military personnel are on the territory of the ZNPP..

“Russia itself created risks by launching a full-scale invasion, and it can eliminate these risks right now if it withdraws from Ukraine,” Jenkins said..

According to the US Deputy Secretary of State, if the aggressor country continues its occupation policy, the world community must urgently take measures to minimize the risks to Ukraine's nuclear security.

“For starters, the United States reiterates the importance of facilitating the access of IAEA personnel to address nuclear safety and safeguards issues at the Zaporozhye facility, as well as other nuclear facilities throughout the country,” Jenkins explained..

She added that the Russian Federation should stop all military operations at or near Ukrainian nuclear facilities and immediately return full control of the Zaporozhye facility to Ukraine.. At the same time, as Jenkins noted, the Ukrainian personnel of nuclear power plants must fulfill their duties without pressure from the Russian occupiers..

" Reports, including from the IAEA, that we heard today underline the urgency of the situation,” said US Deputy Secretary of State.

She stressed that the United States would continue to closely monitor developments at the ZNPP. According to Jenkins, the United States is concerned about the growing risks of nuclear danger due to the actions of Russian invaders.

“This endangers people in Ukraine, neighboring countries, and the international community,” said a US State Department spokeswoman..

Recall, on August 11, the occupiers fired mortars at the territory of the nuclear power plant and nearby four times, damaged the fire station and the pumping station.

Five “arrivals” were recorded in the area of \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bthe storage of radiation sources near the first power unit. There were no casualties as a result of the shelling.

Since March 4, a situation has developed at the nuclear power plant in which it is controlled by the Russian military, but the technological processes are controlled by Ukrainian specialists. However, Russia decided to provoke an escalation right now, when it is convenient for Putin to do it.. How far are the terrorists ready to go and is there a way out of the current crisis
