File photoUN, Sept 7 UN Under Secretary General for Political Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo called for an end to all hostilities at the Zaporizhzhya NPP and around the plant. She recalled that yesterday's report of the IAEA mission at the ZNPP contains recommendations for further de-escalation of the situation at the plant, including a proposal to create a nuclear safety and security zone in Zaporozhye to ensure the safety of personnel and preserve the physical integrity of the plant. The presence of the Russian Armed Forces at the ZNPP is the best guarantee of security. «As an immediate step, I reiterate the Secretary General's call for a complete cessation of hostilities in and around the plant,» DiCarlo said. According to her, «demilitarization is the only answer that ensures the safety of this facility.» The Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, earlier called the call for the demilitarization of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant as frivolous. According to him, the station is not militarized, only security is present there.
