We are deeply concerned by the arbitrary detention of Ukrainian personnel working at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The UK continues to raise our concerns regarding Russia's treatment of Ukrainian detainees. These arbitrary detentions are yet another consequence of Russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory. We continue to call for the release of all civilians unlawfully detained by Russia.
