in case we could have an agreement in the form of 2 parallel agreements. russia with the ukraine, with the i q rejected that option as well, without any clear arguments or reasons for rejecting it. but the rest of that is clear because even the key was hatching dangerous plans to disrupt the normal functioning of these approach. actionable nuclear power plant on to blame russia for that. we are strictly complying with those 7 principles and we do everything that we can to ensure that representatives of the agency can see this with their own eyes. on the 3rd of june, this year, russia and the leadership of the secretariat fully agreed on the route and schedule for the movement of an international agency mission. today's production nuclear power plant that mission, which would include prominence specialist from a number of countries, was planned. that the mission would be led personally by director general grossi. the aims of the mission were exclusively technical in nature. they involved implementing the mandate, assessing the states of the largest nuclear power plant in europe,

and conducting an infantry of the nuclear material contained stipulated in the safeguards agreement, closest to cooperation with the agency, meant that we were able to resolve all of the difficult issues related to organizing and conducting what is such a difficult but such a necessary activity in these conditions. however, at the last minute, the red light was given by the un department of safety and security, and the trip was cancelled. and that was seized upon by the cable authorities to step up their publications and shutting of the nuclear power plant were convinced that counseling the international mission played into the hands of the care of regime and its western backers who initially were opposed to the idea of the trip, they did not want the a to see that the nuclear power pump was functioning normally and that the staff were working in a healthy and normal environment. we trust me hope as soon as he is experts visit to these operational pub, what will happen soon? when we hope that in this situation, the general will acknowledge the full weight of his responsibility and will not via

the subordinate departments to him in the secretariat or any other links in the us mechanism. do anything to hinder the context of this mission? for our power, we stand ready to provide all possible assistance to resolving all organizational matters. we believe it justified for a representatives to go to these approach a nuclear power plant as quickly as possible and possibly even before the end of august. however, far from everything depends on us. there are no guarantees that the trip will take place that we can currently provide. it's hard for us to judge what is currently being cooked up by the ukrainian leadership, which for several days in a row has been launching, strikes on the nuclear power plant. even though the un secretary general described any attacks on nuclear facilities as suicide, we believe it is unacceptable that the mission should take place in the conditions of continuing ukrainian forces. shelling of the plant on the territory around the town of an guitar. kia must immediately cease and guarantee the absence of

intentions to present any threat to the life and health of international staff. we call on states that support the care regime to bring their proxies into check, to compel them to immediately and once and for all stop attacks on this approach. a nuclear power plant on the residence of an editor and to ensure the safe conditions for the conduct of the mission. we call upon the leadership of the u. n. and the i a to demonstrate the leadership and global responsibility to very precisely without any diplomatic formulations, to indicate the real source of the threat to nuclear security of the separation nuclear power on that is to say the strikes from the ukrainian on force is to tell the ukrainian authorities that these actions are unacceptable. this is the only way to prevent a major radiation catastrophe on the european continent, the risk of which is now more real than ever. if you can't force attacks continue, this could take place at any time. then the threat of radiation contamination would loom over the territories of kias up at osha hawk or pulse of a fest on a distant, nikolai, as if the kid of our garage is in, it's a blast,

as well as done yet against people's republics. the border regions of russia and bellow, bruce and also more dover, bulgaria, and romania. and that's even according to the most optimistic, expert forecasts the real scale of a nuclear disaster. others are producing nuclear power plant is hard to imagine. full responsibility for this would in that case lie upon the western backers of care. thank you. or i think the representative of the russian federation for his statement. i now give a for to the representative of gonna thank you mr. kristin. let me begin by thank you, mr. raphael grossi, delta dental of the i. e, for his briefing, are deeply concerning a situation at this up when we see our nuclear power plant in ukraine. the information provided confirms i fear of their growing risk of a potential nuclear incident with catastrophic. went to courses for human life and the environment either in discrimination or their facility. that's no cs. forthwith

. gunner on a quarterly condemns demilitarization of the presence of zapora, easy on nuclear power plant, as well as the deliberate attacks on the power lines and sensitive units of the facility. it appears that the attacks are taking place with nor do regard to their deadly consequences that these on assemble actions could lead to, particularly the accidental emissions of radioactive material. we also call for the encore dish, now withdrawal, a removal of our military personnel and equipment. and assist on the return of the facility to its accredited personnel. we welcome the public pronouncements or circuitry general antonio gutierrez, regarding their rapidly developing grave situation. and here by fully endorse this is call for an immediate are says to be granted to international inspectors from the i. e to enable on independent assessment of the nuclear facility standards and

safeguards of the facility. and i know circumstances to nuclear facilities intended for peaceful purposes be subjected to such attacks. we call for the immediate and for respect for the convention on the fiscal protection of nuclear material and is 2005 amendment by all the parties. mister president, the wall can ill afford another nuclear disaster. we cannot forget too soon. the horror of the 8th, 1986 general bill accidents and the consequent nuclear catastrophe which left in its week long term effects of radiation exposure to many people in ukraine and parts of europe even to date. that one is on the i. e. a must therefore, be soberly reflected on by this counsel and shoot. gov and nice as to quickly deploy every efforts in a unified manner to us is the i. e to mitigates and suppress any risk of accidental emissions. are those up. where is the i nuclear facility gun,

i believe that ultimately this is ation of the military host alcorda and a complete and unconditional withdrawal of their troops of russia. federation from the internationally recognized borders of ukraine is the only acceptable pathway to their installation of the peace and security of the queen. in those regard, we continued to strongly edge a pacifist supplement of their substantive security concerns of their parties in line with a charter and appeal to all other actors. to refrain from escalators actions and activities that only seeks to prolong the war perpetuate to the attention. aggravated the security concerns of the parties. mister president, as the st less war lingers on civilians are buried innumerable hardships in human life be last day. it is important for their parties to exercise restraint and hold their use of force in all areas of critical infrastructure,

including their nuclear power plants and to respect the international obligations to protect human life and to prevent a potential disaster admitted there war ukraine continues to have devastating consequences beyond their battlefield. their ripley in effects combined with economic disruptions caused by the quote in 1000 pandemic, have contributed to constrain their fiscal space of many governments and lead to sperling food prices switched, waiting, threatens to push millions into i q hunger. and rollback development gains, the situation of developing countries appears to be dire. a require agent actions on the global scale include in debt, forgiveness, or restructuring to isis them, navigates their current, will let our global economic environment. you know that to preserve. yes, i believe it is hope that this council, together with the international community, would explore new support measures and appropriate responses to protect hon

populations in member states. i conclude by expressing gonna strong support for their peaceful resolution of this conflict. sooner than later. we edge fred are constructive engagements by the parties at all levels in the pursuit of your security interest and their maintenance of international peace and security. i think we're going here, joe. i thank the representative. we're gonna for his statement. i now give the for, to on a secretary of arms control and international security of the united states of america, miss bonnie jenkins. thank you, director general grossi. we are briefing on the situation at the separator nuclear power plant in ukraine. we welcome the i. e. a steadfast commitment to addressing the situation there and to nuclear safety world wide. the united states continue to closely monitor reports regarding the situation at the separation facility. noting

considerable concern regarding the risk of a nuclear incident that would endanger the people of ukraine neighboring states. and the international community the cause of the situation at the zip creature facility is not a mystery. it is another tragic result of the russian federation decision to further invade. it's and sovereign neighbor, ukraine. russia's full scale invasion has resulted in thousands of civilians killed or wounded to date and has violated the un charter and the principles of international law. the full scale invasion has also contributed to a spike in global food insecurity driven energy market volatility. and now heightened to risk of a catastrophic nuclear incident with consequences that could be felt in ukraine and

far beyond it especially galling there rushes actions are taking place during the ongoing review conference of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty being held just down the hall from where we sit rushes behavior could not more directly undercut the shared interests of the state parties and strength thing, nonproliferation, the sodom it and piece for uses of nuclear energy. the solution for what is happening at the definition facility is straightforward. the united states calls for the russian federation to immediately withdraw is forces from ukraine's territory. this would allow for ukraine to restore the impeccable safety security and safeguards performance it up hell for decades at the facility. russia

continues to deploy this information to distract from realities on the ground and now claims that ukraine is culpable for the situation at the suffer, which your facility this completely ignores the real issue, which is russia's illegal presence at the facility. russia alone created risks, and would it lodged a full scale evasion. and it could eliminate those risks now by withdrawing from ukraine. in the absence of such a withdrawal, however, there are steps we must take now to minimize the risks. to start the united states, we erase the importance of facilitating access for i. e, a personnel to address nuclear safety security and safeguards concerns at the zachary's your facility as well as an other nuclear facilities around the country in a manner that respects ukrainian sovereignty. this visit cannot wait any longer. we

once again call on russia to seize all military operations at or near ukraine's nuclear facilities, and insist that russia immediately return full control of the zephyrs your facility to crane. we are also aware of claims of his treatment of the power plant, ukrainian staff by russian soldiers. and note that if true such treatment would be inconsistent with the i. e, a 7 pullers of nuclear safety and security which russia has endorsed. ukrainian staff must be allowed to fulfill their important duties free from the pressure of russia's armed forces. the united states also support ukraine's proposal to create a demilitarized zone around as a for we see

a plant reports such as that by the i. e. a. we heard today underscore the urgency of the situation. but what is happening at this nuclear power plant is not the only alarming situation. we face any areas where russia's forces operate in ukraine. russia has expanded its aims in ukraine and seeks to dismantle it as a geopolitical entity, dissolving it from the world map. we are now getting a clear picture of what life is like in an area under russian military control, through intimidation, censorship and propaganda. russia is clearly laying the foundation to try once again to legally annexed territory from its neighbour. none of us should be surprised if russia suddenly analysis fought referenda in these regions as a pretext to grabbing more of ukraine's sovereign territory. the many

consequences of this conflict, including the situation at the separation nuclear power plant, will only end when russia, in this war to day, the united states, the mass particularly urgent action to address the nuclear risks posed by russia's latest move. this must be done through the work of the i a and a return of full control of the zachary show facility to ukraine. thank you. should i think miss jenkins from a statement, and i'll get the flotilla representative got, boom. miss simpson creek. thank you mr. president. i think the i a, a director general mr. grossi for his briefing. the out that i'd like to express my country's grave concern in lights would be intensifying fighting and the

perpetuation of the war and ukraine. since last saturday, following attacks against visa formation, nuclear plant, the risk of a nuclear is off, have risen to a considerable level with non compliance with 5 of the 7 principles guaranteeing the security of nuclear sites. the builder of military activity around the nuclear plant absolutely must stop. the parties are responsible for putting a stop to any, any activity that might expose the world to the risk of a nuclear disaster. any militarization of nuclear sites is unacceptable. the scale of the risks in bold should be a wake up coal to all of the belligerent sand to the whole of the international community. we urge the parties to comply with current nuclear security rules to halt all shelling of the nuclear sites and to avoid

exposing the world to the risk of a catastrophe with irreparable consequences. my country calls on the parties to cooperate with the i 8 to secure the potentially dangerous sites in order to prevent the risks of a disaster. further, it is urgent for the $174.00 containers of spent nuclear fuel to be sheltered from any type of military activity. in this regard, an i h technical mission to the site seems crucial. we call on the parties to agree on the modalities of such a mission, which in line of these, with a situation that just been described appears to be more than urgent. mr. president, the signing of an agreement just a few weeks ago for the export of grain held at ukrainian port is a glimmer of hope on the path towards peace. this momentum should be harnessed to

plan for potential negotiations for a cease fire in order to negotiate the end of hostilities. my country reiterates its opposition to the war and reaffirms its commitment to the peaceful set resolution of conflicts. we encourage all political and diplomatic efforts aimed at bringing an end to the escalation and achieving an agreement for a lasting peace between the parties. thank you. i think the representative of that boom for his statement. i now give the for, to the represent hipaa, united arab emirates, mr. president. i would like to thank director general grossi for his valuable briefing. the united arab emirates is deeply alarmed by recent events at and near the zipper rosier nuclear power plant, including the reported damage to critical infrastructure, the external power supply system,

and rate the radiation sensors. these developments illustrate the disastrous ramifications of the ongoing conflict. not just for ukraine, but for the wider region and the world when it comes to nuclear matters, our collective security is truly intertwined. a miscalculation and mistake. a reckless act could result in a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe. that would affect millions of lives. in this context, it is crucial that the i e, a have full unimpeded access to the site. in order to assess the damage and ascertain the safety of the facility, we support the 7 pillars of nuclear safety and security, outlined by director general grossi in the beginning of march, and remind parties of their importance in maintaining the safe operation of this app rozier plant and other facilities that may be caught up in the conflict. we further recall the special protections for nuclear power facility facilities under

international law. including article $56.00 of additional protocol, one to the geneva conventions. which makes clear that works or installations containing dangerous forces, including loo, nuclear generating stations shall not be made the object of attack, even where these objects are military objectives. these facilities are protected under international law for a reason. not only are they critical civilian infrastructure, but there are also immense risks to human life when nuclear facilities become vulnerable, due to conflict. ensuring the safety of nuclear facilities is therefore of the utmost importance. and is a critical issue for the lea. mister president, with the agreement on agricultural exports, we witness the potential for positive development when backed by active and involved diplomacy and broad international support. the high stakes of nuclear

safety and security and international communities manifest concern should therefore make this a focus of constructive and necessary engagement between the parties. these efforts can in turn, paved the path for a broader settlement that ends this devastating conflict. we therefore reiterate the need for ongoing dialogue to bring the conflict to a peaceful, sustainable resolution in a way that is consistent with the un charter and international law. we re emphasize the importance of achieving a cessation of hostilities throughout ukraine. the alarming developments at separately underline the urgency of finding a diplomatic end to this conflict, which continues to cause a staggering humanitarian crisis in ukraine. despite the difficulties facing this council, we must work towards fulfilling its mandate and take incremental and pragmatic steps to prevent further suffering. i thank you, mr. president. i think the retention you e put

a statement, i now get the full, actually reprint, if no way. thank you mister president. let me start by thanking director general grossi for his briefing and for providing frequent factual updates on matters within the agencies mandate. the director general has outlined 7 indispensable pillars for nuclear safety and security. we note with great distress that the russian forces have violated several of them during the military aggression against ukraine. normally, norway strongly condemns russia's illegal, an unprovoked invasion of ukraine, which is going on for half a year. precedent in march, the i. e. a board of governors adopted a resolution deploying the russian federations forcefully facing seas in control of

nuclear facilities. the board expressed an eye quotes, grand concern that the russians federations aggression is impeding the agency from fully and safely conducting safeguards, verification activities at ukrainian nuclear facilities, unquote. we call on russia to return full control of all ukrainian nuclear facilities to their ukrainian operators. the ongoing war has disrupted direct communication lines between them and the ukrainian regulator. this is extremely dangerous. new for safety and security deter it from the presence of an armed aggressor. the staff operating the facilities are in the psychological and physical stress. and they are at the mercy of an invading force. this is not conducive to the safe operation of nuclear facilities. norway has had

a long standing corporation would ukraine on nuclear safety and security. and we commend ukraine for its commitment and dedication to ensuring continuing youth to safety and security and the country under these severe circumstances. precedents, damage to an destruction of civilian infrastructure is sec unacceptable. it must always be protected in accordance with international humanitarian law. we are concerned that russia's occupation of nuclear power plant in ukraine means also ceasing control over the central sources of electricity for the cranium. civilian population. in closing precedent, no way again, underlines that the russian federations must immediately withdraw his forces from ukraine's international recognize borders and sees all threats and military actions . this would restore ukraine's abilities to ensure safe and secure operations of nuclear facilities. i think miss,

i think they would sent it no way for the statement i now get to frontier the representative could please help. thank you. you said president, i think that actor brassy or he's clear and comprehensive briefing. brazil has been following with great concern news about the recent shelling incidents at the facilities of separately, jo, nuclear power plant. you're in your green as gland animals. recognized by the i r e a general conference. any, i'm that, that on and threat against nuclear facilities defaulted to be said for part of this constitutes a violation of the principles of the un charter international law and the statute

of agency. we read the rate that all parties concerned have a responsibility to ensure compliance with the applicable instruments on nuclear safety and security. including the conventional nuclear safety, the joint convention on the safety of spent fuel and the convention on the physical protection of nuclear material. and the amendment is the president during the ongoing n p t review conference. the state parties have been insisting on the need to promote nuclear safety and security as well as risk reduction. the urgency after insulating those words into action using could easily evidence. while the i e assessment that there was no immediate threat to nuclear safety as

a result of cetera is incident. give us some relief. we cannot lose sight of the fact that the recent events have breach it. virtually all the 7 dealers, outlined by the, by the director general half i'll see earlier this year. the absence of immediate threat does not mean the absence of threat. it only means that the parties, you still have a chance to avoid a disaster. me, said president, what makes the situation so alarming is precisely the fact that we are fully aware of the catastrophic and lasting consequences for human health and the environment that any damage to this up what each power plant would entail. we therefore call on all parties to refrain from any measure medical job,

but as the safety and security off then b b as well as it's safe operation. as the g grossey listen to the state, the current situation is unfavorable. we eco, the calls for the deployment off and i e e, expert mission. so this up what each year in p p without delay. and i thank you. i thank you for your statement and i'll get them for to the representative of albania. mister president, we thank thee a director general cross c for his information, his clarifications, and for his leadership. he was crystal clear during his address of the journal debates of the 10th and p. t conference still going on as he was today. i. e, a should be fully involved everywhere in ukraine in order to help prevent nuclear

disaster there, he must be listened to and his request must be met. colleagues, there would not be a meeting of the council and we will not be discussing the issue if it wasn't for the russian invasion of the grain. if this unjustified and senseless war that is continued to this hour have not started. we and the entire world are not familiar with this disastrous impact and every aspect of human life and activity, including i feared more than once with increased nuclear risks with potentially disastrous consequences. isn't it ironic that while it tends to review confronting n p t 's under way the entire world hopes for tangible progress? on the 3 pillars of the n p t. we need suddenly to talk about a persistency or risk and nuclear planting grain, or threatens ukraine on its population, but not only its neighboring country, but also the repeat in continent. and beyond that,

you recall one fundamental fact that is way more than a curiosity until russians invasion of ukraine. no nuclear plant has been ever attacked, overrun, occupied, and reportedly militarized by an invading army. it is the 1st time that this is happening as a result of russia's war of choice. and it has created one of the worst precedence that is countries evidence that the russian forces have been continued to conduct their ugly warwick lastly ambled brutality. that is a legitimate concern, therefore, the russian forces may directly or indirectly cause as soon as or severe nuclear accident and take other actions that may result in the exposure of gain population to isaac radiation. all while accusing the victims of such others of the victims of such actions. such dreadful concerns have been very that.
