WASHINGTON, March 17. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump plans to raise the issue of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) during his phone call with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

"There’s a power plant that is on the border of Russia and Ukraine. That was up for discussion with the Ukrainians, and he (Trump - TASS) will address it in his call with Putin tomorrow," she said when asked to comment on President Trump’s statement that he plans to talk about power plants and territories during his call with Putin.

When asked to specify if she meant a nuclear power plant, she said, "Correct."

She refused to say whether Vladimir Zelensky’s future will be among the topics to be discussed by Presidents Putin and Trump. "I'm not going to get ahead of the President's discussion tomorrow, but after the phone call takes place, I can certainly provide a readout," she noted.
