IAEA director Rafael Grossi warns Russia against restarting Zaporizhia power plant. Grossi is visiting Russia, where he is due to meet President Vladimir Putin for the first time since 2022.

The head of the IAEA had already met with Vladimir Putin in October 2022 and visited Ukraine several times to meet president Volodymyr Zelensky. He called on Russia and Ukraine “to exercise utmost restraint” in order to avoid a nuclear accident at the plant.
