India Today
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar highlighted how India pressed Russia on the safety of Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine during its ongoing war with Kyiv.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday said that India, acting on a "request", pressed Russia on the safety of a nuclear power plant which was near the fighting zone during the country's ongoing war with Ukraine.
Jaishankar, who is on his first visit to New Zealand, said India is willing to do whatever it can to facilitate a solution to the Ukraine crisis.
"When I was in the United Nations, the big concern at that time was the safety of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant because there was some fighting going on in the very proximity to it," said Jaishankar at an event with business leaders in Aukland.

"There was a request to us to press the Russians on that issue which we did. There have been other concerns at various points of time, either different countries have raised with us or the UN has raised with us. I think at this time whatever we can do, we will be willing to do," PTI quoted Jaishankar sa saying.
