Trump Pushes Proposal for U.S. Control of Ukraine's Nuclear Plants

Ukrainian officials and media criticize the plan as a threat to sovereignty, while discussions on U.S. investment in energy infrastructure continue.

Donald Trump proposed transferring control of Ukraine's nuclear power plants to U.S. companies, claiming it would secure their defense and energy infrastructure.
Ukrainian leaders and media have reacted negatively, describing the proposal as exploitative and harmful to Ukraine's sovereignty.
The Zaporizhia nuclear plant, Europe's largest and currently under Russian occupation, has been a central focus of these discussions.
President Zelenskiy indicated that U.S. investment in the Zaporizhia plant could be considered only after its liberation from Russian forces.
Experts have raised concerns about the technical and political feasibility of U.S. companies operating Ukraine's Soviet-era nuclear facilities.
