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 – dialling back, for now, the “precarious” danger level cited on Friday by the UN’s atomic agency.

Kyiv and Moscow continue to exchange blame on whose forces have shelled the area around the plant. Putin on Sunday repeated Russia’s claim that Ukraine’s forces are responsible, according to a Kremlin readout. Early on Sunday, Ukraine’s Energoatom, operator of the plant in the nation’s southeast, said the No 6 generator at Zaporizhizhia will be cooled down and preserved.at the plant dire after layers of safety-backup systems were rendered ineffective by a power outage.

The atomic plant in Energodar, Europe’s largest and with a replacement value in the tens of billions of dollars, is seen as a war prize for Putin, who would like to redirect its energy output to Russia’s grid.
