KYIV, Jan 5 - The idea of creating a security zone around the Russian-occupied Zaporizhia nuclear power plant is unrealistic, the more likely scenario for its de-occupation is a military one, says Energoatom President Petro Kotin.

"We do not consider this (safety zone) realistic. There is a new year, but there is no creation of this zone," Kotin said in an online interview with Bloomberg, questioning the efforts of the International Atomic Energy Agency to establish a security zone around ZNPP.
