Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has welcomed calls by the UN nuclear agency for a safety protection zone at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, APA reports citing BBC.

The plant has been occupied by Russia since the start of the war, and it has come under repeated attack since, with both sides blaming each other.

The UN says that the shelling of Europe's largest nuclear power station must end immediately.

Shelling could cause the unlimited release of radioactive materials, it said.

In a report published on Tuesday, following last week's much-awaited visit, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that the presence of Russian military equipment on site could undermine its security.
