00:16 So I think it's good to take stock where we are, to pass messages, the evaluation from

00:27 It's very important to continue our dialogue with the Russian Federation and of course
00:32 talking to the President for me is indispensable since the situation with regards to the Saporodny
00:42 nuclear power plant has been at the centre of the international preoccupations, which
00:46 is not a surprise since this station is right on the front line of the conflict.
00:55 From the beginning of the war, the conflict, we've had eight times, at eight different
01:01 opportunities the plant was in complete blackout, which meant that the only source of energy
01:09 to cooling the plant was emergency generators that depend on the, of course, availability
01:18 of fuel.
