KYIV, Sept 7 – The introduction of a UN peacekeeping contingent to the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) site and nearby territories, which will mean the withdrawal of the Russian military from there, may become one of the ways to create a nuclear safety and security protection zone at the plant, Energoatom President Petro Kotin has said.

"The introduction of the UN peacekeeping contingent into the territory of the plant, Enerhodar, and the nearest territories requires additional diplomatic efforts on the part of the UN, the international community. At the same time, this may be one of the ways to create the security protection zone at the Zaporizhia NPP – to bring in a peacekeeping contingent there and withdraw the Russian military," Kotin said on the air of the national telethon on Wednesday.
