International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi announced on Friday that the agency secured a "localized" ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine, enabling repairs to the last remaining backup power line to Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) to be completed.
"The IAEA continues to work closely with both sides to ensure nuclear safety at the ZNPP and to prevent a nuclear accident during the conflict. This temporary ceasefire, the fourth we have negotiated, demonstrates the indispensable role that we continue to play," Grossi said.
The agency stated that technicians are set to begin repair work on the damaged 330 kilovolt (kV) line, which left the ZNPP reliant on its sole functioning 750 kV main power line, in the coming days.
