Ukraine's demand to make Zaporizhia a military-free zone, Guterres said – attack on nuclear plant could be suicidal

Therefore, the Russian army should withdraw from the Zaporizhia nuclear plant area and declare it a military-free zone and deploy peacekeepers there.

The armies of Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of these attacks. Russia has said that the Ukrainian military is firing on the nuclear plant and other areas under its control.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for the visit of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to the nuclear plant.
