President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has welcomed a resolution of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and underlined that only through collective determination and principled action it is possible to force the aggressor to stop its blackmail and terror.

"I am grateful to the IAEA General Conference for passing a resolution on the Zaporizhia NPP that reaffirms the need for Ukraine to regain full control of the plant and withdraw Russian troops and personnel from ZNPP," he said on the X social network on Friday.

The head of state also noted that "Russia is the only terrorist regime in the world that has stolen a nuclear power plant, which is the largest NPP in Europe, turned it into a military base, and continues to use it for nuclear blackmail against our continent and the world."

"This is why nuclear safety is the first point on the Peace Formula. And this was one of the main topics on the first Peace Summit agenda. I am pleased to see that today's IAEA GC resolution furthers these important efforts," he said.

"Only through collective determination and principled action will we be able to force the aggressor to stop its blackmail and terror. Every state that adheres to the UN Charter and common human principles must be interested in this for the sake of international peace and security," Zelenskyy said in the message.
