The president of Ukraine has minimized the offer released by Trump on the transfer of the property of the Zaporiyia nuclear power plant to the United States. Zelenski acknowledges that the situation around the atomic plant arose during the last telephone conversation between … Both leaders last Wednesday. “But we don’t address the issue of property with President Trump,” Zelenski said during a press conference in Olso.
The kyiv government is open to address the investment and modernization of its nuclear infrastructure. Although the ownership of this infrastructure lies in the people and Zelenski emphasizes that it does not have the legal power to undertake any type of negotiation in this area. “All nuclear energy belongs to the Ukrainian state, including the Zaporiyia region, temporarily occupied,” he said.
The White House statement after the conversation between Trump and Zelenski mentioned that Washington can be “very useful in the management of plants with their experience in electricity and public services” and added that “the US property of these plants would be the best protection.” Zaporiyia’s nuclear power plant is the largest in Europe. Its infrastructure is under Russian control since 2022 and is currently located in front line. The installation, disconnected from the Ukrainian electricity grid, is not currently operating.
Ukraine currently has four nuclear plants, including Zaporiyia, and 15 reactors. The energy issue is of vital importance for the State After the deliberate Russian attacks against the country’s electrical system, initiated in the autumn of 2022. Attacks that continue, as the Ukrainian president has denounced, despite the agreement reached between Trump and Putin on a truce in the bombing of energy facilities. Zelenski states that he will transfer a list of civil facilities to the United States delegation to be covered in the high fire that Putin is allegedly willing to comply. “I do not want there to be a different understanding about what, if God wants, the parties will agree on the next meeting, the closest, which will be Monday in Saudi Arabia,” he said.
The president of the invaded country also participated in videoconference format at the European Council meeting, which addresses the rearmament of the Zelenski member countries stressed: «Investments in weapons production are needed in both Ukraine and in Europe. Europe must guarantee its technological independence, including weapons manufacturing. Everything necessary for the defense of the continent must occur in Europe ». The Ukrainian leader has denounced that the last Russian attack against his country demonstrates Putin’s null disposition towards La Paz. In addition, he requested that the help of continental allies increase. «Air defense, military aid and our general resilience are crucial. We need funds for artillery projectiles and we would be very grateful for a European support of at least 5,000 million euros as soon as possible, ”he said.
Another of the key issues mentioned Zelenski this Tuesday is the need to incorporate European allies into the peace process. «Europe must always be at the negotiating table in all conversations about European security ». The other key issue for Ukraine remains adhesion to NATO, although the perspective is not very optimistic. «The United States, as an important Allied of NATO, does not support Ukraine in NATO. This is nowadays, ”said Zelenski. However, withdrawing this matter of the negotiating table would be counterproductive, says the Ukrainian President. «I think it’s a great gift [para Moscú] that this issue is eliminated from negotiations »emphasized the head of state of Ukraine.
