Zelenskiy Urges Parliament to Back Additional Nuclear Reactors
(Bloomberg) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged lawmakers to approve the completion of two additional generators at a nuclear power plant in the west of Ukraine.
He discussed the plan with IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi in Kyiv today.
The project is “key to energy independence and energy stability,” Zelenskiy said in his daily statement.
In December, lawmakers failed to back the law allowing the construction. Bulgaria agreed to provide the two reactors and other equipment compatible with the power plant and extended the deadline for Ukraine until March to complete the purchase. Ukraine needs additional power generation after Russian attacks destroyed more than half of electricity generation capacity.
