of the meeting between the representative of the russian federation that i took place only at noon of 4 hours later than planned webpage tribute to the courage of the ages. representatives have a readiness to work literally under fire ukrainian fire. we would like to ask you to rector general, what was the impact on your work out of the attempt to buy you bring an armed forces to abort to the mission. how can you comment upon a visa activities by the ukrainians side, in the context of threats to safety and security of the station and the safety of the edges? his job? i would like to address a similar question to the secretary general. the d. s. s. s. u n d s. s a staff or part of the i a missions on they were dealing with the issues of safety and security. a was a duty to assess the situation. no, and no of all everything that could create a risk for it. what do you, as a staff, talk about the risks that were created for the mission by the ukranian side. mr.

president, the it's disappointment with a i a visit to the and p p. k. of didn't want to hide. zalinski advisor, mr. pollock said in particular that i quote all of these mediation missions a very ineffective and extremely cowardly, extremely unprofessional, and of quote. according to him, the mission was never ready to work in extreme conditions. and this applies not only just to the agency but to the one big characteristic of this ukrainian, a government employee, the international organizations. well, we don't trust them from the start. and of course mr. patella also doubted the fact that in 2 hours time that i could have conducted wide expertise and guided by that anger cable, his cell did not give up on his plans. despite the fact that i represent his word, this station on the 2nd of september,

the cave regime under 2. yet another unsuccessful attempt to capture the station, but this was foiled by the russian armed forces. since then, the key of regime continues attacking the station. almost every day on the 3rd of september, the armed forces over your crane use age drones with suspended munitions. but thanks to our russian romped forces. the drones near and gas station were blocked out to them. they were forced to, to drop their grenades in just deserted areas more or more than 1.5 kilometers away from the station. on the 4th of september, they bring in forces. i'm used to combat to you a v to strike as a result of what was done by the russian armed forces, the drone loss control, and crash kit one kilometer away from the n p. p. on the 5th of september, there was another shelley by either ukrainians over the n p. p. one of them hit the roof of building number one with the with fuel assemblies and solid radioactive

waste. according to the information, the woman stroke defense, the shelling of the station and then a ga dot is conducted from the other side of the co host go water reservoir. namely from the towns of nuclear power. madigan, is my gift card. they are under the control of the ukrainian armed forces. the ukrainian attacks resulted in the back that out of a 7 electric lies 5 are damaged. we call on the members of security council and you and leadership to strongly condemn this publications by the cave under jim their aim to not only against the staff of the station, but also against the international civil servants. i. e, a staff the human shield just by a ukrainian, our forces also the people in our go down to day only there were 5 or chillier shelling of that place. we know, director general, all of that the citizens gave you a collective appeal asking that this be stop. and this is something that was

covered very widely at mass media. and you did say that you will do everything you can. we would like to ask you to please dwell a bit on detail on this. what is your impression from your interaction with the people of an echo dot. we continue doing everything we can to make sure that the priority and p p works safely, ensuring it's functioning as something that's being done. i was found a technical personnel with the support of russian specialists. so father radiation situation, the station is normal. but if the bro occasions by the key of regime continues, there is no guarantee that they want to be serious consequences and the responsibility for that lives fully with care. and it's western backers and all other members of security council who so far have not found themselves that courage to call things their proper name and call and cave to stop. it's reckless acts against these upper orgy and p p which create a real threat to international peace and security. we expect that today security council members will have enough courage to do that. so as to prevent

a potential radiation disaster. i think you let me see what i think the present of the russian federation for his statement and then they'll give the floor to the united states. thank you, mr. president, and thank you 60 general good tears and director general grossi. we appreciate your continued support to ensure the operational safety and security of this upper nuclear power plant, despite russia's ongoing attacks and refusal to silence its guns and withdraw from ukraine. so that the situation can be resolved peacefully and diplomatically. first, let us commend the parties involved in facilitating the visit of the international atomic energy agencies team. the visit allowed them to carry out their important ongoing work. despite the increasingly dangerous situation. with his,

with his upgrades he had facility the united states welcomes the technical support of the mission to reach facility we, we support continued unhindered and safe i. e. access to the facility. to that end, it is essential that russia allow ukrainian operators to implement any and all measures the a team and ukrainian operators. the important for the safe and secure operation of the plant to decrease the risk of a nuclear incident. colleagues, this is a matter of international nuclear safety and security. a potential danger here is enormous. it concerns us all. and so once again, we support ukraine's call for the demilitarization of the area surrounding the separate facility. and we demand rushes, immediate withdrawal from ukraine,

sovereign territory, despite russia, song and dance here today to avoid acknowledging responsibility for its actions. russia has no right to expose the world to unnecessary risk and the possibility of a nuclear catastrophe. worse, this is the situation entirely of russia's making. the current danger is up or each year is the result of rushes unprovoked and unlawful invasion of ukraine. and specifically, it is a result of russia's premeditated march 4th seizure of this plant. the international community called for russia to avoid the nuclear plant. instead, russian troops struck and seized the facility, jeopardizing the a 7 pillars of nuclear safety and secured. russia continues to conduct military operations around the plant. every day russia controls the plant increases

the risk of the nuclear incident over the weekend showing once again led to the disconnection of an external power lines putting at risk the plants operations. while we understand that the plant is currently generating enough power to operate its cooling systems, rushes continued military presence in the area will continue to put the plant in the entire region in serious danger. we continue to urge russia to end all military operations at or near ukraine's nuclear facilities into return, full controlled to ukraine. the i. e. 's report. instead details conditions drastically increasing the stress indirect on the operators and thus unacceptably raising the risk of human error. the report also notes continued combat operations in the vicinity in the installation of military equipment and personnel within the

plant, which also contribute to the risk of nuclear disaster. i want to mention here that we joined the director general in commanding the staff at all nuclear facilities for their endurance and resilience in keeping the sites running in a safe and secure way in which the conflict. mister president, nick opposed brave mer recently told a media outlet, and i quote, our biggest challenge is that we can predict what's going to happen tomorrow, or even if there's going to be a tomorrow. another ukrainian citizen was quoted saying, quote, all of us are just scared all the time. i'm old, i have diabetes. if anything happens, i will only have time to lie on the floor and close my eyes. no one should have to live like this. there is no excuse for the unnecessary risk of

a nuclear incident. no one should be questioning if there will be a tomorrow. the plant and the electricity it produces belong to ukraine. any attempt by russia to disconnect this up, reach your nuclear power plant from ukraine and direct the power generates toward russia. would be highly provocative, selfish and short sighted. we reject all efforts by russia to use ukraine's electric grid as a pawn in this, in justified unjustified war in ukraine's nuclear power plant is a military shield or deployment site. russia is responsible for this crisis and it can also resolve it. now, the solution is not complicated. the russian for iteration must and its reckless behavior and immediately withdraw its troops. not only from the areas surrounding separate each yet, but from all of ukraine. ry cynicism from russia,

claiming profound concern about the risk of catastrophe, will not cut it. it is obvious that the fastest way to fix this is for russia to withdraw immediately. unfortunately, for all of us, the russian federation showed its true colors when it obstructed the outcome. at the 10th review conference of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, russia alone block consensus on a final document. that should come as no surprise given that russia's actions during its further invasion of ukraine have undermined the safe should secure and peaceful use of nuclear energy. the exact kind of issues, the n p t and it's review conference are called upon to address this lack of commitment to the peaceful uses of nuclear energy calls into question rushes, reliability as a supplier of nuclear material equipment and technology. the world's responsible

n p t states parties have called for russia to and all military activity near this operated facility. and rightfully return full control of the facility to ukraine. now is the time for russia to listen before it's too late. as the toll of this conflict on civilians grows even higher, i hope each of us on behalf of the countries we represent. will underscore in this chamber that russia must silence its guns. withdraw from ukraine and embrace diplomacy. general statements of concern or appeals to all parties will not help resolve this crisis. all parties are not responsible for the situation. russia is, and it is incumbent on russia to show now with its actions that it respects the un charter by respecting ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. thank you,

miss. joy. yes, i think the representative was all over the united states for his statement. i now gave the floor to the representative of the united kingdom. thank you president. thank. he said, to general, thank you direct to general grossey. i'd like to start by commending the i e, a director general grossey and his staff at for their visit to zachary z, a nuclear power plant under extremely challenging circumstances. we welcome the i e a's ongoing presence there. and i also offer my thanks to ukraine for helping to facilitate this visit. the i. e. a has assessed that the physical integrity of his appreciate nuclear power plant has been violated several times. and with the

publication of today's report, the i, a e, a has confirmed the presence of russian military personnel, vehicles and equipment in the plant. we understand that in some cases, russian military equipment has been as close as 60 meters from the nuclear reactors. the report also confirms the immense stress and pressure under which the brave ukrainian staff at this plant are operating. they are no longer workers, but hostages being held at gunpoint by choosing to

invade a nuclear power plant and puddings are parisha in the crossfire. russia is playing roulette with nuclear safety as long as rushes occupation of the plant continues. it's safe and secure operation cannot be insured. any measures to address nuclear safety at the plant should therefore involve the full withdrawal of russian troops and personnel. president. this is the 3rd meeting that russia has called on this issue in recent weeks. but we should be under no illusion. the situation that separate here is entirely of russia's making. it is russia's invasion that has disrupted the operation of nuclear facilities

across ukraine. it is russia that his jeopardizing the safety of millions in the region who would be affected by nuclear incident. and it is russia that can resolve the situation by immediately withdrawing its forces from zap parisha and all of ukraine, and ceasing it senseless and reckless aggression. thank you president joy smith. i think there are presenter of the united kingdom for his treatment. i now gave the saw to the representative of brazil. thank you mr. president. need to start my expressing or appreciation to the secretary general for his briefing and to the director general of the i. e. a for the visit of his team to separate

him. and for his report. mr. present last week the i e. a mission to does that, but it's a nuclear power plant. was a positive development emitter conflict, in which moments of good news happening few and far between the presence of the agencies inspectors allows us to grasp the real dimension of the risks to the safety of those nuclear installations. avoiding and nuclear contests, catastrophe must be a priority for all parties. this conflict has already resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions. we find it extremely concerning that the physical integrity of the plant has been violated

repeatedly in recent weeks. even more worried is the fact that the prospect of an i e. a mission was not enough to stop the bombings. brazil reiterates its appeal for the immediate suspension of all actions that could jeopardize the security of putting him before the damage to the plant. results in irreparable consequences to human lives, to the environment, and to the safety of the region. in this context, we take note of the recommendations addressed by the deed may direct a general reference grossey to the parties. mister president, once more will recall that the tax on nuclear facilities dedicated to peaceful purposes constitute violations of the un charter of international law. and of

the statute of the i. e. a. remind the parties of their responsibilities on the multilateral instruments, such as the convention on nuclear safety. the joint convention on the safety of spent fuel and the convention on the physical protection of nuclear material and it's amendment. we expect that rationality will prevail, and the fears of a nuclear disaster may be averted. i thank you, mr. president. i think the representative of purcell for his statement, i now give the floor to the representative of obey. now. thank you mister president, and you also find the sector general and director john grossi for the information provided and their leadership on this very important issue. we are happy that although the late without any reason the inspection team was able to conduct its

1st mission, parisha, your plans we can congratulate, did you got any steam and esteem for their resolve in maintaining the mission, despite extremely challenging circumstances. we sang them and will come their report. we understand that this is the most important complex and challenging mission field mission. since one of our colleagues, the visit and the presence of experts in the plant is reassuring and a relief. even though the funding and what we heard from the g today are very wording. actually there are alarming which is quite entirely to the conclusion that continued fighting in around the nuclear plant would only increase the risk of disaster since, as already verified. the physical integrity of the russian occupied separation of your plant in ukraine has been violated several times and that continue to still,

it is maintain a continued imminent threat. it is common knowledge now an aside and warning fact. but the southern safety pillars essential to maintain new nuclear safety insecurity, which the did you recall here today again, have been compromised of the power plant. this is unacceptable. the presence of russian military force is of the nuclear power plant is illegal. it prevents the operator and the ukranian authorities from fulfilling the nuclear and radiation safety obligations in accordance with international conventions. and i think the standards it was as it was already stated by the board of governors and i called russia invasion, i'd seen continued presence at the grange to clear facilities, significantly raises the risk of nuclear incidence and accidents. and of course, and the report released today confirms this and our war is

express here more than once. the green and stuff breaking. the plant on the russian military occupation are under constantine stress and pressure. this is not sustainable and could lead to increased human error with implications. one of your safety colleagues. just a few weeks ago, the 10th an p t review conference was not able to adopt the final document. another one of those. so moments when diplomacy fails in its core mandate and we'll know why it happened. we'll know who stood alone incomplete isolations probably hold the ostrich, the entire world, which have come together to reaffirm the importance of n p t in all its 3 pillars. therefore, it is no surprise that we hear, and every nuclear expert in the world are right to be worried. seriously worried of the reckless actions of the russian army may accidentally or willingly lead to

a cascade of dreadful events that were threatened upon ukraine and its population. not only all its neighbors, but also utopian continent and beyond. the situation is clear and there is no room for politics, for blame, game, and certainly not for distorted notice as we hear incessantly. we are cold here, and this is not the 1st time to deal with the symptoms. when we know that we need to tackle the very source of the problem, what is the business of russia to attack, overrun, occupy, and militarize a nuclear power plant in another country? who is responsible in the 1st place that there is fighting in and surroundings of the nuclear power plant? can ukraine? why has the russian of answered the call for the limits for the mil to rising, the power plant handed over to those it legally belongs to ukraine. and agreed to

establish a secure permit in order to avoid the unthinkable. a clear and straightforward answered of these questions would help provide more clarity was here. and to all of those wars, we reiterate our call to the russian federation to withdraw his military forces and all other unauthorized personal from the separation nuclear power plant. it's needed surroundings and all of ukraine sort of ukrainian operator can review it, sovereign responsibilities, and the legitimate operating staff can conduct their new dis, outside without outside in interference, threat or harsh working conditions. we are worried that widespread infrastructure damage a constant and for rushes, feature of young going russian attack on ukraine and loss of power supply, which has happened more than once and led to repeated switch off reactors, increases the threat of fire the plant,

which would in turn damage the cooling systems and lead to a nuclear meltdown. this is credible, or they need condense, any violence perpetrated inside or near the separation of our plant or against its personnel. we fully support the recommendation of the i. e, a to a stablish a secure payment around the nuclear power plant, and called for immediate implementation colleagues. let me conclude by saying that nuclear power plants aren't built to resist or survive military activity, either at the plant itself or anywhere near it. therefore, they must not be turned into a military garzon or platform for military attacks. and let's not forget, messing with nuclear safety is playing with fire. that kind of fire that may burn millions with catastrophic consequences by the environment that will last for decades. i think she'll miss.

i think they are representative of obey near for his statement, i know give or to the representative of ireland. thank you mr. president. and i'd like to talk to the general director general grosse for their briefings. we great the welcome the support and assistance mission to john parisha. and i'd like to commend both the a and c u and for the manner in which this mission has been conducted. we welcome the director general report and its recommendations. and we also welcome the directors generals intention to maintain an ongoing, a presence at the plant, the i. e. a has a key role in assisting ukraine to oppose new care safety and security in the country in the face of russia's occupation of such critical ukrainian infrastructure president. we are deeply concerned by the situation at this operation nuclear power plant, including the ongoing military facility and shelling around the plant. we strongly

support the secretary general's called so the demilitarization of the area around the plant. the fact that the plant had lost all connection to the main ukrainian grid, raises serious conversions. we urgently call on russia to stop its efforts to disconnect the plant, which creates a significant risk of a catastrophic radiological incident at the plant. the director general has, again, clearly says the importance of the 7 pillars of nuclear safety and security. and how these are being floated a separation due to russia's actions. we call on russia and indeed old states to fully commit themselves to the 7 pillars. for all nuclear facilities and materials, including and situations of armed conflict, president, once again, we have to be perfectly clear the issues its operation arise solely from the unjust and unprovoked war, raised by russia against ukraine. the reckless actions of the russian military forces and their forcible seizure of the nuclear plant have already demonstrated

their over disregard for new care safety and security. once again, let me reiterates if russia is serious about safety. at this operation, nuclear power plant it most and its illegal occupation of the size withdraw its troops and munitions. this is essential. so the ukranian authorities together with a can uphold the responsibilities for safety and security at the site. russia must hand this war and withdraw from the full territory of ukraine in respect to sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbors. thank you. your let me if i thank the representative of ireland for his treatment. i now gave him the floor to the representative of norway. thank you, president and i thank the secretary geno and their director general of their i. e,

a for their timely and alarming briefings. the important or that a mission to supper reach a nuclear power plant and the agencies continued presence cannot be overstated. their professional and impartial efforts are key to our understanding of the situation at the plant. we also commend the crucial work done by the ukrainian staff who in the various circumstances continue to operate the plant under occupation by washing forces. we call in russia to return full control of the facility to its ukrainian operator. one clear line of ukrainian operational control and authority is micheal to safety and security situation of the separate reach and nuclear power plant has deteriorated totally because of the rush us aggression. it is totally unacceptable that the new kit facility has become a frontline in the ongoing russian war against ukraine. we appreciate the i.

e. a summary report with recommendations released earlier today. the i. e. a has identified an urgent need for interim measures to prevent a nuclear accident arising from the physical damage caused by military means. as the director general has explained, this can be achieved by the immediate establishment of a nuclear safety and security risk protection soon. we form the importance of the 7 pillars of the nuclear safety and security outline by the i, ace, director general and we support agency in helping ensure the implementation of these pillars in the ukraine. we echo also his concerns including for the physical integrity, the power supply and staff conditions at the plant nuclear facilities should not be used for military activity.
