Leaders of US, Britain, France and Germany discuss war in Ukraine
US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Sunday (August 21) discussed the nearly six-month-old war in Ukraine.
The conflict was the subject of a conference call bringing together the the four leaders. They reiterated their support for Ukraine against Russia's invasion, the BBC said.
Moscow and Kyiv have accused each other of shelling a Russian-held nuclear plant, raising fears of a catastrophe.
The White House said in a statement the four leaders spoke about the situation at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, where repeated shelling has raised fears of a potential catastrophe.
They agreed on "the need to avoid military operations near the plant" and for UN nuclear experts to inspect the sprawling site first hand in order to help ensure its safety and security, the White House said.
Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Ukrainians to be vigilant ahead of Independence Day celebrations.
"Russia could try to do something particularly disgusting, particularly cruel," he said in a weekend address.

"One of the key objectives of the enemy is to humiliate us," he added, but "we have to be strong enough to resist all provocation".
Ukraine's Independence Day on Wednesday, 24 August, will also mark six months since Russia invaded Ukraine.
