Ukraine and Russia, with the mediation of the IAEA, have agreed on a local temporary ceasefire to restore backup power supply to the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant. This was reported by the agency.

This is stated in a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency.


According to the IAEA, the truce is necessary to carry out repair work and restore power to the plant.

The agency's Director General, Rafael Grossi, said that the area is also being cleared of mines to ensure access for repair crews.

The Russian state agency RIA Novosti, citing Rosatom head Alexei Likhachev, reported that IAEA experts are monitoring the repair of the 330-kilovolt Ferrosplavna-1 power line.

It is noted that the line was shut down on 10 February 2026 as a result of hostilities.

In January 2026, Ferosplavna-1 was already repaired during another temporary ceasefire.
