Kyiv has been the center of attention at a peace summit held in Switzerland, where more than 80 countries and organizations called for Ukraine’s nuclear facilities to be placed under complete sovereign control of Kyiv. The call for Ukraine to have full control over its nuclear power plants was made during the summit, with Zaporizhzhia being the first step in this process.
