Ukraine's atomic power operator said Sunday that the last reactor at Europe's largest nuclear power plant has been shut down after the plant was reconnected to the electricity grid.

Russia is still waiting for concrete details of the initiative to establish a demilitarized zone around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, says Russia's permanent representative to the UN.

The U.N.'s atomic watchdog called on Sept. 7 for a security zone to be set up around Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is occupied by Russia, as the area was hit by more shelling.

Russian troops seized control of the plant - Europe's biggest atomic facility - in March and there have been repeated attacks in the vicinity, sparking fears of a nuclear disaster.

After the Ukrainian President warned that the world was once again on the brink of a nuclear disaster because the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant was turned off again, the IAEA issued a statement.

The Bosphorus Strait is closed to vessels in both directions because of a stuck cargo ship carrying grain from Ukraine to Italy. This was announced by the Turkish Coast Guard Directorate.

A U.N. inspection team entered Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on Sept. 1 on a mission to safeguard it against catastrophe, reaching the site amid fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces that prompted the shutdown of one reactor and underscored the urgency of the task.

This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov during a meeting with students and professors of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, and added that they expect help despite the efforts of those who want to prevent it.

US President Joe Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid and underscored the commitment of the United States to never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.

An expert team from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived in Ukraine to visit the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, said the visit to the plant was a "technical mission" aimed at preventing a nuclear accident.
