The General Conference,

(a) Recalling the previous Board of Governors and General Conference discussions under the agenda item Nuclear safety, security and safeguards in Ukraine, including resolutions GOV/2022/17, GOV/2022/58, GOV/2022/71, GOV/2024/18, GOV/2024/73 and GOV/2026/25, adopted by the Board of Governors on 3 March 2022, 15 September 2022, 17 November 2022, 7 March 2024, 12 December 2024 and 5 March 2026 respectively, as well as resolutions GC(67)/RES/16, GC(68)/RES/15 and GC(69)/RES/14 adopted by the General Conference on 28 September 2023, 20 September 2024 and 18 September 2025 respectively,

(b) Reaffirming its grave concern that the Russian Federation has not heeded the repeated calls by the Board of Governors and General Conference to immediately cease all actions against and at nuclear facilities in Ukraine and to withdraw its military and other personnel from Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP),

(c) Taking note of resolution A/RES/78/316 entitled Safety and security of nuclear facilities of Ukraine, including the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 11 July 2024 and resolution A/RES/ES-11/4 entitled Territorial Integrity of Ukraine: defending the principles of the Charter of the United Nations adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 12 October 2022 and noting the Director General’s confirmation that the Agency complies with this resolution,

(d) Emphasizing the importance of nuclear safety and security regarding peaceful nuclear facilities and materials in all circumstances, including in armed conflict, and the importance of all parties fully respecting the IAEA Director General’s ‘seven indispensable pillars for nuclear safety and security during an armed conflict’ derived from IAEA safety standards and nuclear security guidance,

(e) Noting the Director General’s statements on the situation in Ukraine since 24 February 2022 and his latest report on Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards in Ukraine contained in document GOV/2026/49 and noting with serious concern that the situation with respect to nuclear safety and security at the ZNPP remains “precarious” with some of the Director General’s ‘seven indispensable pillars’ for nuclear safety and security being “compromised either fully or partially”, notably through repeated instances of total loss of off-site power and the deterioration in the availability of off-site radiation monitoring data, as well as the nuclear safety and security risks arising from vulnerabilities in Ukraine’s electricity grid resulting from attacks on its energy infrastructure, and the damage arising from the 14 February 2025 and 7 June 2026 drone strikes against, respectively, the New Safe Confinement at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the Central Spent Fuel Storage Facility in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone,

(f) Recalling the importance of the Director General’s “five concrete principles” for nuclear safety and security at the ZNPP, as announced at the United Nations Security Council on 30 May 2023, and stressing that all parties must implement these principles in full respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and

(g) Expressing concern that the Agency continues to face unprecedented challenges in the implementation of safeguards in Ukraine pursuant to Ukraine’s Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol, including the conduct of physical verification activities at the ZNPP due to the ongoing military presence at the site resulting in Ukraine’s loss of regulatory control over nuclear material,

1. Reaffirms that Ukrainian nuclear power plants and installations, including Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, must operate safely and securely under full sovereign control of Ukraine;

2. Calls for the urgent withdrawal of all unauthorized military and other unauthorized personnel from Ukraine’s ZNPP and for the plant to be immediately returned to the full control of the competent Ukrainian authorities to ensure its safety and security and in order for the Agency to conduct safe, efficient, full and effective safeguards implementation, including physical verification activities at the ZNPP, in accordance with Ukraine’s comprehensive safeguards agreement and additional protocol;

3. Welcomes with appreciation the Agency’s continued efforts to address nuclear safety and security risks in Ukraine; fully supports the continued on-site presence of the IAEA Support and Assistance Mission to Zaporizhzhia (ISAMZ); and requests that the Director General continue to regularly report on the situation at the ZNPP, including on the observance of the aforementioned “five concrete principles” for nuclear safety and security;

4. Calls upon the Russian Federation, until it returns Ukraine’s ZNPP to the full control of the competent Ukrainian authorities, to provide ISAMZ with unrestricted and timely access to and from all relevant locations at and around the ZNPP and open information sharing in order to allow the IAEA to fully report on the nuclear safety and security situation at the site and to undertake vital safeguards activities;

5. Emphasizes that attacks targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure critical for the off-site power supply of nuclear power plants, including at the ZNPP, represent a direct threat to nuclear safety and security as outlined in the fourth “indispensable pillar for nuclear safety and security in an armed conflict”;

6. Fully supports the Agency’s continued provision, upon request, of technical support and assistance to Ukraine to help ensure the safe and secure operation of nuclear facilities, activities involving radioactive sources, comprehensive safety assessments, and operation of off-site power supplies essential for nuclear safety, including the continued physical presence of IAEA technical experts at the Chornobyl, Rivne, Khmelnytskyy and South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plants, and welcomes the July 2025 signature of a Memorandum of Understanding between the IAEA and the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy;

7. Encourages Member States to offer continued political, financial, and in-kind support to the IAEA comprehensive programme of technical support and assistance to Ukraine, including by providing necessary nuclear safety and security equipment as requested by Ukraine;

8. Decides to remain seized of the matter and to include the item “Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards in Ukraine” in the agenda for its seventy-first (2027) regular session; and

9. Requests that the Director General continue to report to Member States on Agency activities in Ukraine.
