It is obvious that the “physical integrity” of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has been “violated several times”, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said
Speaking to reporters after he returned to Ukrainian controlled territory on Monday, Rafael Grossi said that he continues to be worried “until we have a more stable situation” at the plant and explained inspectors were not assess whether the damage was deliberate or accidental.
“But this is a reality that we have to recognise and this is something that cannot continue to happen,” he added.
Both Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of attacking the plant and the area around it for weeks.
Grossi also talked about the conversations inspectors conducted with the Ukrainian workers at the facility, who he said were “calm” despite working military occupation, noting their “incredible degree of professionalism”.
He also repeated that the IAEA were seeking to have “continued presence” at the plant to continue their analysis of the “more technical aspects of what we saw”.
