Borrell supports demilitarization of Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, urges Russia to return plant to Ukraine

The High Representative of the European Union for foreign and security policy, Josep Borrell, has supported calls for the creation of a demilitarized zone around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Borrell wrote about this on Twitter.

"The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant cannot be used as part of any military operation. I support the call for the demilitarization of the territory, starting with the complete withdrawal of Russian troops, and I call on the IAEA to visit the nuclear plant", he wrote. 

In addition, he emphasized that the Russian Federation should "immediately return full control (over the station - Ed.) to the legitimate sovereign owner Ukraine".
