ENERGODAR , March 30 —The chief of the UN atomic watchdog said yesterday he was working on a compromise security plan for the Moscow-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and warned of increased military activity around it.
“I am trying to prepare and propose realistic measures that will be approved by all parties,” Grossi told reporters during a press tour organised by Moscow at the plant, which is controlled by Russian forces. Kyiv and Moscow have accused each other of shelling the plant, increasing fears of a disaster. Russian soldiers stationed at the plant told AFP during Grossi’s visit Wednesday that they have been preparing for a possible attack from Kyiv.
During the visit Grossi took a guided tour through the huge facility, which had been fortified. He was followed by around 30 journalists. The Moscow-installed director of the plant, Yury Chernichuk, showed Grossi damage the plant sustained during the hostilities. Renat Karchaa, an advisor to Russia’s nuclear power operator Rosenergoatom said Wednesday ahead of the visit that it was unlikely to bring about major breakthroughs.
The Russian invasion has caused devastation across swathes of the country, and despite more than 13 months of gruelling battles, Ukraine’s top diplomat on Tuesday struck a defiant tone.
