The Turkish and Ukrainian presidents and the UN secretary-general came together today in Lviv, Ukraine, with a challenging agenda that includes boosting grain exports from Ukraine and security concerns around Zaporizhzhia, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant located in southern Ukraine.
The three leaders — UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan — have expressed the need to take security measures around the nuclear plant, which has sparked fears of a looming nuclear disaster.
