On invitation of ENSREG, the representative of the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine provided information on the current situation regarding nuclear materials and facilities in Ukraine. The representative pointed to the lack of access to facilities in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and the threats caused by military operations for nuclear power plants and other facilities containing nuclear materials and radioactive waste.

At the meeting, the position of ENSREG was agreed and adopted, calling on the Russian Federation to immediately cease unlawful activities in order to restore control of the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine over nuclear facilities and materials in accordance with international safety requirements. The statement will be communicated to the Russian side and is publicly available at ENSREG website.
