The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a resolution on July 11 demanding the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops and unauthorized personnel from Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The resolution, titled 'Safety and Security of Ukraine's Nuclear Facilities, including Zaporizhzhia NPP,' was supported by 99 countries, with 9 voting against and 60 abstaining. The resolution calls for the restoration of full control of the nuclear facility to Ukraine, condemns Russian aggression, and emphasizes the need for the safety and security of all nuclear facilities in Ukraine. It also calls for an end to attacks on critical energy infrastructure and the removal of anti-personnel mines. This step is seen as a significant move toward restoring respect for the UN Charter and international law.
