A senior Russian official said on Tuesday that Moscow was generally supportive of the idea of creating a secure zone around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the TASS news agency reported.
Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia's ambassador to international institutions in Vienna, where the International Atomic Energy Agency is based, was responding to long-standing calls by the U.N. nuclear watchdog for a de-escalation of the conflict near the plant, Europe's largest nuclear facility.
