For nuclear safety and security to be restored, Russia must withdraw troops from the occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said at a meeting with IAEA Director Rafael Grossi in Bucharest today.

"We discussed the situation at the Zaporizhzhya NPP, including security of the Ukrainian personnel. I reiterated that Russia must withdraw from ZNPP to restore nuclear safety and security," Kuleba tweeted.
