The IAEA says Russia and Ukraine agreed to a local ceasefire near the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant to repair the last remaining backup power line after damage on Jan 2.

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to introduce a local ceasefire regime near the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) press service reported.

According to the agency, the arrangement will allow repair work to begin on the plant’s last remaining backup power transmission line. The IAEA said consultations on a temporary truce in the area of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant for the purpose of repairing the backup power supply line started on January 10.

On January 2, as a result of military actions, the last remaining 330 kV backup power line at the plant was damaged and disconnected. The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant became fully dependent on a single operating 750 kV line.
