Russia announced the possible termination of the mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) at the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. This information was made public by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation in response to the recent statements of the Director General of the IAEA, Raphael Grossi.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted hostilely to the interview of the head of the IAEA, Raphael Grossi, who told the German news agency DPA that representatives of the Agency will be at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant "until the possible freezing of the war."
The statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry says that such statements are beyond Grossi's competence. They claim that the experts of the IAEA Secretariat are at the ZNPP "at the request of the Director General" Rafael Grossi and only as long as the aggressor country "considers their stay there to be justified."
In October, the Zaporizhia NPP lost connection to the 330 kV backup power line twice in a month. The station remained on a single external power supply of 750 kV, necessary for cooling the reactors.
