Brokered ceasefire takes effect for repairs at Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant
Ukrainian technicians will repair the damaged Ferosplavna line after demining, as the plant runs on emergency diesel and could lose power within days, the IAEA said.
- On Saturday, Sept 5, 2026, a ceasefire brokered by the International Atomic Energy Agency began to allow repairs at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant to restore external power.
- The Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia facility has relied on emergency diesel generators since Aug 20, while the IAEA warns a station blackout could occur within days without additional fuel or restored power.
- Ukrainian technicians were scheduled to begin demining and repair work on the damaged Ferosplavna power line, the IAEA said, to restore external electricity to the plant.
- Rosatom chief Alexei Likhachev said the ceasefire should last about a week, though he cautioned that repairing the Ferosplavna line might not guarantee resumption of external power supplies.
- Both Moscow and Kyiv have regularly accused the other of military actions compromising nuclear safety during the war, with disputes persisting over reconnection efforts and previous unconnected repairs.
