Ukraine: There are signs Russia is preparing to leave Zaporisiza thermal power plant

The last “weeks we are effectively receiving information that signs have appeared that they are probably preparing to leave the” plant, Kotin said on national television.

“S first, there is a huge number of reports in Russian media that it is worth releasing the plant, and it is probably worth checking on by the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA. It gives the impression that they are packing and stealing everything they can, he said, referring to the United Nations nuclear overseer.

Asked whether it was too early to talk about leaving Russian troops from the plant, Kotin said on television: It's too early. We don't see this now, but they're getting ready to leave.
