According to Grossi, without peace, there is a threat of a nuclear accident.

"Until the war stops, the truce is signed or the guns fall silent, there is always a possibility that something will go very, very wrong. No single operator can use a nuclear power plant when there is another country across the river that resists it and can take action against it," Grossi said.

According to him, the IAEA will be "indispensable" in this situation.

The 28-point "peace plan," a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, proposed restarting the ZNPP under IAEA supervision and dividing electricity production equally between Russia and Ukraine. on November 24, the FT reported that the talks in Geneva the "peace plan" was shortened from 28 to 19 points. And the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that the most sensitive points of the peace plan will be agreed upon personally by Zelensky and Trump.
