Support for an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) visit to Ukraine's embattled and Russian-occupied Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (ZNPP) grew this week, with positive signals from both Ukraine and Russia, alongside unanimous approvals from the UN Security Council. But the devil is in the details, and it's not clear that a breakthrough is in sight over the logistics of such a visit, and in particular how IAEA officials might traverse the five miles from Ukrainian-held territory to Zaporozhye. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Washington this week endorsed the idea of creating a demilitarized zone around the plant, but Moscow is not playing ball.
