It is reported, with reference to diplomatic sources, the agency Reutersquoting the resolution:

“Immediately cease actions against and at the Zaporozhye NPP.”

Russia and China in the IAEA, as expected, voted against. Russia’s permanent mission to the UN called this resolution “anti-Russian”, while noting that it was “dragged” by Western countries.
