French President Emmanuel Macron urged Russia to withdraw “heavy and light” weaponry from around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant during a “frank exchange” with President Vladimir Putin on Sunday.
The pair spoke after the last operating unit at the Russian-occupied facility was shut safely -- dialing back, for now, the “precarious” danger level cited on Friday by the UN’s atomic agency.
Macron “insisted on the need to ensure the safety” of the plant, according to a readout from his office. “He reiterated that the Russian occupation was the cause of the risks” surrounding Zaporizhzhia, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant.
