The United Nations General Assembly on 11 July demanded that Russia “urgently withdraw its military and other unauthorised personnel” from Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station and return it to the full control of Ukrainian authorities.

The 193-member General Assembly adopted a resolution with 99 votes in favour, nine against and 60 abstentions.

The resolution condemned “Moscow’s failure to implement its relevant resolutions and those of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)”.

It also called for “immediate cessation of the attacks by the Russian Federation against critical energy infrastructure of Ukraine, which increase the risk of a nuclear accident or incident at all nuclear facilities of Ukraine.”
