The United States opposed a resolution adopted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board condemning attacks on Ukraine’s power grid. The resolution labeled these attacks as a threat to nuclear safety. The US joined Russia, China, and Niger in opposing the measure, diplomats said on Thursday.
The resolution was adopted despite this opposition. It was presented by the IAEA, a U.N. nuclear watchdog. The measure expressed concern about the impact of the attacks on Ukraine’s energy sector. These attacks raised issues about the safety of nuclear facilities in the area.
Russia and China also opposed the board’s position. Diplomatic sources confirmed the vote. The US stance highlights divisions in the international community on this issue. The resolution reflects concerns over the risks to nuclear infrastructure amid ongoing conflict.
The IAEA board resolution signals growing international attention on nuclear safety risks. The US opposition shows geopolitical complexities affecting global nuclear policies.
