Un Chief Says Electricity At Russian Controlled Nuclear Plant Belongs To Ukraine

Sign up now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com Register UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday that electricity generated at the Russian nuclear plant in Ukraine’s southern Zaporizhzhia region belongs to Ukraine and called for that principle to be fully respected. Ukraine accused Russia earlier on Friday of planning a “large-scale provocation” at the massive nuclear plant and said Russian forces planned to disconnect the facility from Ukraine’s electricity grid and connect it to Russia’s. Moscow and Kyiv accuse each other of bombing Europe’s largest nuclear plant, which Russia seized in March but is still run by Ukrainian technicians. Only two of the facility’s six reactors are operating.

And this principle must be fully respected,” he said. Ukraine is bracing for its toughest winter in more than 30 years of independence and bracing for a possible power shortage that will be exacerbated by the nuclear plant’s disconnection. International aid officials have expressed concern that such a move by Russia could cause more hardship in the eastern part of Ukraine, in particular, and push more people to flee abroad. Russia itself has accused Ukraine of planning a “provocation” at the sprawling nuclear plant.
