Volodymyr Zelenskiy recently stated that Ukraine's nuclear power plants would not be handed over to anyone but did not rule out the option of the US making investments in them following a discussion with Donald Trump. Zelenskiy emphasized the importance of the nuclear power units in ensuring the country's security. The main focus is on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant currently under Russian occupation, which was a topic during the call between Zelenskiy and Trump. The US administration proposed assistance in managing Ukraine's electricity supply and nuclear facilities to enhance protection. Despite the station being state-owned, Zelenskiy is open to discussions about potential American investment and modernization efforts to reclaim it from Russian control. The Zaporizhzhia plant, initially built to supply a significant portion of Ukraine's electricity, has been a target for attacks during the ongoing conflict, raising concerns about the risk of a nuclear disaster. Zelenskiy mentioned the plant's deteriorating state and the challenges it faces, particularly after the Kakhovka dam was destroyed, affecting its cooling system. The Ukrainian president emphasized the importance of the station remaining under Ukrainian control for operational efficiency and safety.
