"Europe's largest nuclear power plant has been cut off from external power since 23 September, with the fuel in its reactors being cooled by emergency diesel generators. The International Atomic Energy Agency director general, Rafael Grossi, said: Both sides say they stand ready to conduct the necessary repairs on their respective sides of the frontline. But for this to happen, the security situation on the ground must improve so that the technicians can carry out their vital work without endangering their lives."
"French photojournalist Antoni Lallican has been killed by a Russian drone attack in eastern Ukraine on Friday. The 37-year-old award-winning photographer was embedded with Ukraine's Fourth Armoured Brigade near the frontline in the Donbas region when killed, Ukrainian authorities said. Ukrainian journalist Georgiy Ivanchenko was wounded in the same attack. Both journalists were wearing personal protective equipment, and their bulletproof vests had identification marks with the word PRESS' on them, the Fourth Armoured Brigade said on Facebook."
IAEA director general Rafael Grossi is discussing proposals with Russia and Ukraine to restore off-site power to the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, calling it a question of political will. The plant has been cut off from external power since 23 September and its reactor fuel is being cooled by emergency diesel generators. Both sides say they are ready to carry out repairs on their respective sides of the frontline, but the security situation must improve for technicians to work without risking their lives. Separately, French photojournalist Antoni Lallican was killed by a Russian drone near the Donbas frontline and another journalist was wounded; both wore protective gear marked PRESS, and Ukrainian officials said Russian forces deliberately target journalists. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed deep sadness over Lallican's death.
