Forty-two countries have now asked Russia to withdraw its troops from the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant so Ukrainian authorities can resume work and the UN nuclear regulatory agency can conduct a review process.
In recent days, Kyiv and Moscow have repeatedly accused each other of shelling the area around Europe's largest nuclear power plant.
