Ukraine updates: IAEA chief visits Zaporizhzhia power plant DW 09/03/2024
Briefly

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed concerns over the safety of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, stating, "It is safer for Ukraine to control the Zaporizhzhia plant, but so far, from the point of view of the battlefield, I do not see such possibilities, and those that probably exist, they are dangerous." His remarks highlight the complexities and dangers involved in reclaiming control over the facility, especially in ongoing conflict conditions.
Rafael Mariano Grossi, director of the IAEA, is on his way to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant to continue efforts to prevent a nuclear accident. His visit comes after both Ukraine and Russia accused each other for a recent fire outbreak at the facility. Grossi's ongoing assistance underscores the international concern surrounding nuclear safety in a conflict zone like Ukraine, particularly with the plant being under Russian control since 2022.
