Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday (3 July) that Kyiv plans to submit a resolution on nuclear safety, in particular at the Russia-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, for consideration at the United Nations General Assembly.

Zaporizhzhia, the largest nuclear station in Europe, was captured by Russian forces shortly after they launched a full-scale invasion in 2022.

“Ukraine will submit the draft resolution to the General Assembly for consideration shortly,” Zelenskiy said on X, following a meeting in Kyiv with the assembly’s president Dennis Francis.

According to Francis, whose trip to Kyiv marks the first visit to Ukraine by the assembly's president in nearly 30 years, the draft resolution document passed several rounds of consultations and was registered.
