(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 26. Director General
of the International Atomic energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi told
reporters he planned to visit "Zaporozhye <...> Kiev and
Russia" within the next ten days, Trend reports.
"I prepare to return to Zaporozhye, within the next ten days or
so I will be there, [and] also in Kiev and Russia," the official
told reporters after taking part in a UN Security Council briefing
about the situation at the Zapororzhye Nuclear Power Plant
(ZNPP).
Grossi said he planned to meet with representatives of Russia's
state-run nuclear corporation Rosatom during his upcoming
visit.
Later, the official told reporters that he was planning to visit
Moscow to engage in "political and technical dialogue."
Located in Energodar, the Zaporozhye nuclear facility, with
roughly 6GW of capacity, is the largest of its kind in Europe.
Russia took control of the plant on February 28, 2022, in the first
days of its special military operation in Ukraine. Since then,
units of the Ukrainian army have periodically shelled both
residential districts in nearby Energodar as well as the premises
of the nuclear plant itself, by means of drones, heavy artillery
and multiple launch rocket systems.
