The issue of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) may be discussed during the upcoming negotiations in Geneva regarding the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that a source disclosed this information to the RIA Novosti agency. According to the source, while the ZNPP is expected to be on the agenda, the facility's ownership by Russia remains beyond doubt from their perspective.
The third round of talks on Ukraine is scheduled to take place in Geneva on February 17-18. Delegations from the United States, Russia, and Ukraine will participate in the meeting. The Russian delegation will be headed by Vladimir Medinsky, Assistant to the Russian President. US President Donald Trump has previously emphasized the importance of diplomatic solutions to global conflicts, and these talks are seen as a continuation of international efforts to reach a ceasefire or a political settlement.
According to reports, the negotiations will not be held at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva. Switzerland's role will be limited to ensuring the entry and security of the participating delegations. The meeting is expected to cover a wide range of military, political, and humanitarian issues related to the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.
The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, located in Enerhodar, is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe and among the 10 largest in the world. Since the beginning of the conflict, the facility has been a focal point of international security concerns due to its strategic importance and the potential risks associated with military activity near nuclear infrastructure. Previous rounds of discussions have highlighted the need for a safety zone to prevent a potential radiological catastrophe.
