Repair crews are working to restore off-site power to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant after rare local “ceasefire zones” were set up, the IAEA said. The facility has been cut from the grid for four weeks—the longest outage of the war—after losing its last power line and relying on diesel for more than 20 days. The agency said both sides cooperated to enable the complex plan, though neither confirmed a truce. Kyiv and Moscow traded blame for the blackout, amid continued strikes on Ukraine’s energy network, including a recent hit affecting Chernobyl.
