BERLIN: The leaders of Britain, France, Germany and the United States on Sunday urged army restraint all-around the Moscow-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine, as they vowed to maintain their backing for Kyiv in the war.
In a phone get in touch with, the four leaders also referred to as for a “quick check out” to the nuclear website by independent inspectors of the Global Atomic Power Agency (IAEA), mentioned German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s spokesman.
A flare-up in fighting around the Russian-managed nuclear power station — with both sides blaming every single other for attacks — has raised the spectre of a catastrophe even worse than in Chernobyl.
On Friday, the French presidency said Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed that IAEA inspectors can vacation to the nuclear plant for an inspection.
All through their talks on Sunday, Scholz, US President Joe Biden, France’s Emmanuel Macron and British Key Minister Boris Johnson also “agreed that aid for Ukraine in its defence from Russian aggression would be sustained”.
