International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Rafael Grossi will speak to reporters at the Vienna airport in Austria upon his return from Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant on Friday.

A team of UN experts arrived at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia atomic plant complex on Thursday to assess the risk of a radiation disaster after being delayed several hours by shelling near the site.

Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of trying to sabotage the mission of the IIAEA to the plant in southern central Ukraine, which is controlled by Russian forces but operated by Ukrainian staff.

Conditions at the nuclear plant, Europe’s largest, have been unravelling for weeks, with Moscow and Kyiv regularly trading blame for shelling in the vicinity and fuelling fears of a Chornobyl-style radiation disaster.
