  • United Nations chief Antonio Guterres urged Russia and Ukraine to agree to a demilitarised perimeter around the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine.
  • Guterres’s remark comes following the release of an IAEA report on the power station which recommended the establishment of a ‘security zone’ as the UN nuclear watchdog experts found extensive damage at the plant.
