Feb 27 (Reuters) - The International Atomic Energy Agency on Friday said it has negotiated a temporary local ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, allowing restoration for a backup power supply to Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP).
"The fifth local ceasefire negotiated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) between Ukraine and the Russian Federation commenced today," Rafael Grossi, director general of the agency said in a statement.
"The IAEA has previously facilitated four temporary ceasefire agreements, which allowed five separate repairs to power lines connected to the ZNPP," Grossi added.
