"The project of the General Assembly’s resolution says that it was stressed at the summit that any use of nuclear energy and nuclear facilities must be safe, protected, well-guarded and not harmful to the environment, and that Ukrainian nuclear power plants and facilities, specifically the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, must remain under full sovereign control of Ukraine in accordance with the principles of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). We are grateful to the countries that supported the project before the voting and became its co-sponsors," he stated.
