In news from Ukraine, a team of nuclear inspectors with the International Atomic Energy Agency have left Kyiv and are headed for the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia power plant — Europe’s largest nuclear power station. In recent weeks Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of attacking the plant, sparking fears of a radiation disaster. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi spoke earlier today in Kyiv.
Rafael Grossi: “We are now finally moving after six months of strenuous efforts. The IAEA is moving into the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. As you know, we have a very, very important task there to perform: to assess the real situation there, to help stabilize the situation as much as we can.”
