50 members of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine suggest that the Parliament call on international organizations to introduce sanctions against the entire Russian nuclear industry, in particular against the state corporation Rosatom due to Russia's shelling of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

This is stated in the draft resolution 7667, reports Ukrainian News Agency.

The document contains a call to recognize the actions of the Russian Federation regarding the occupation of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, its mining and shelling, which endangers the safe existence of the world, as an act of nuclear terrorism, to apply sanctions against the entire Russian nuclear industry, in particular against the state corporation Rosatom, all enterprises and organizations that are part of it and their subsidiary companies, which are located both on the territory of Russia and outside its borders, as well as in relation to Russian individuals who are the heads of Rosatom and its subsidiaries, which are responsible for the implementation of the policy of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and take direct participation in decision-making and the implementation of acts of nuclear terrorism in the territory of Ukraine.

It is also proposed to appeal to the General Conference of the IAEA regarding the suspension of the privileges and rights of Russia as a member of the Agency, as well as the deprivation of its right to vote at meetings of the Board of Governors of the IAEA and the opportunity to participate in programs of technical cooperation, scientific and technical exchange, and international research projects conducted under the auspices of the Agency, and take the necessary measures to organize and send a joint security mission of the UN and the IAEA to the Zaporizhzhia NPP with subsequent demilitarization of the plant and the withdrawal of armed Russian military personnel and equipment from the plant and the entire surrounding area, including the city of Enerhodar.

As reported by Ukrainian News Agency, the Russian occupiers once again shelled the temporarily occupied Enerhodar in Zaporizhzhia region.
