concerned that russia, caesar of a nuclear power plant, is all the means of taking hostage a central source of electricity supply essential to the civilian population of ukraine. the electricity generated at the separation nuclear power plant rightfully belongs to the people of ukraine. and the attempt to disconnect the plant from the ukraine and grid is unacceptable. gresham must immediately rejoice forces in and around the sub reach a nuclear power plant and all of the ukranian new care facilities. precedent. the ongoing attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure have a devastating and acceptable impact. russia illegal war, an unprovoked aggression has caused terrible suffering for the people ukraine, and beyond, including by aggravating global food insecurity affecting the most vulnerable the

hardest. and let me end again by reiterating that norway condemns russia's choice to wage this war. in the strongest possible terms, the russian federation must immediately rejoice, forces from within ukraine's internationally recognized borders. this is the only sustainable solution to the many issues we're discussing today. i thank you president, he'll miss, he looks on the i think your present way for her statement and then they'll give the floor to the representative of india didn't let me begin by thanking the secretary general for his comprehensive briefing and the director general e for his update on the recent visit of the team to the separate nuclear power plant. india attaches high importance to ensuring the safety and security of nuclear facilities in ukraine as any accident involving nuclear facilities could potentially have severe consequences for public health and the environment. in this

regard, we appreciate the recent visit by the i e team and continue to carefully follow developments regarding the safety and security of ukraine's nuclear power reactors and facilities. we have noted that the i e, will have a continued presence at the red and p p. record high priority to the discharge by the i e of it safe guards and monitoring activities in accordance with the statute in an effective non discriminatory and efficient manner. and we value the efforts of the agency in this regard with a view to not endangering the safety and security of nuclear facilities and personnel working there. we reiterate our call for strict mutual restraint. india continues to remain concerned over the situation in ukraine since the beginning of the conflict. india has consistently called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and, and into violence. we've called upon both sides to return to the path of diplomacy

and dialogue. we support all diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. we welcome the secretary general backs initiative to open the exports of greens from ukraine via the black sea and the facilitation of the exports russian food and fertilizes these efforts to demonstrate that differences can be resolved through sustain dialogue and diplomacy, which has been the consistent position of india, we continue to reiterate, mr. president, that the global ought to be anchored on international law, the un charter and respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of states . she was remiss in seal oppressive bill. thank you mr. frank. present over the india for his statement, and i now give the floor to the united arab emirates president at the outset, i would like to thank secretary general, good terrorist and i. e,

power plant, has been violated several times. as the report highlights, it is important that measures are put in place to prevent a nuclear accident that could arise from physical damage to the plant. in this respect, the recent news that the plant was again disconnected from the power grid due to fire cars by selling is a source of serious concern. this demonstrates that even with its presence at the plant, de escalation remains critically important to guarantee its safety before it's too late. disruption of the external power supply to the plant and any incident undermining the safety and security of its staff could have disastrous consequences and is unacceptable. nuclear plants such as up or are afforded special protection under international humanitarian law. and these protections must be respected. the risks of a nuclear disaster are simply too great and the consequences to terrible. as we

have stated before, the way he strongly supports the 7 pillars of nuclear safety and security, articulated by the i e, and calls on both parties to the conflict to ensure that they are respected. it is alarming that the i am report to, they confirmed that all 7 pillars have been compromised. the safe operation of the zeros the power plant is crucial. not only because of the dire effects of a potential nuclear incident, but also because of the critical need of its regular supply of power for civilians . this is all the more so with winter approaching, going forward, the continued presence of international inspectors from the i. e. a will remain essential in order to assess safe operations and to stabilize the situation at the 00 power plant. we welcome the i e. s. commitment to remain on the ground while at the same time undertaking further periodic technical visits. ultimately, however,

use a nuclear facility for military purposes. the possibility of a nuclear accident to with potentially catastrophic consequences should in no way be used as a weapon of war. we therefore call yet once again for association of any and all kind of military activity within and near are the and p p. parties to the conflict have to abstain from any attack against the nuclear site, and we call for an independent and impartial investigation, as so as to form, establish responsibility for all military activity when it's damaging to nuclear facilities were recall that party. so the conflict have to abide by the existing rules of nuclear security and cooperate with a in a which is transparent to make sure that the sites are saved. we cannot be satisfied with half measures, given the scope of the danger. mister president,

love it requires the and i returned to the full respect for international law as demanded by the international court of justice starting on the 16th of march, and that they return to full sovereignty of ukraine. among these challenges, the assault ah, on ukraine, by russia, exposes as to the severe risk to the ukrainian nuclear facilities. the league is the actions of the russian armed forces near the power plant and legal occupation of the power plant significantly. increase your risk of an accident. this situation represents an unacceptable risk not only for ukraine, but for europe as a whole. it is russia that bears the responsibility for this, and it is russia that must answer for it. by withdrawing it's true, it's our troops from the power plant and from all of ukrainian terror. the rest is

trying to accuse the, this is just the adversary, but it, russia is acting as a more someone who sits fire is it? it sets fires and then a distributed advice on how to fight it for several weeks. now, france has been mobilized at the highest level in order to facilitate the deployment of the experts of the i. e to these apparition, nuclear power plant, president micron, and the foreign minister received the director general of the i a in paris to express or for support for him. france, welcome to the holding of this mission, which is a 1st encouraging a necessary step. france also hales the constructive role played by the cranium not doherty's to make sure that this mission is, takes place in the best possible conditions. the conclusions are shared by the
