UN chief Guterres and Turkish President Erdogan meet Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in Lviv |

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday said he asked UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to ensure security at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. 

Moscow and Kyiv have accused each other of shelling the complex, and the fighting has raised fears of a nuclear catastrophe. Guterres was visiting Lviv, where he held three-way talks with Zelenskyy and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Before three leaders met, Zelenskyy held bilateral talks with Erdogan, who was on his first trip to Ukraine since the war started. Ankara, with its strong ties with both Moscow and Kyiv, has had a key role in diplomatic efforts throughout the war. Turkey insists the war in Ukraine should be resolved through diplomatic channels.
