OREANDA-NEWS The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) does not have enough facts to name those responsible for the attack on the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). This was stated by the Director General of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, Al Arabiya TV channel reports.
"In accordance with the IAEA's mission to protect nuclear safety, we had to go to the Kursk NPP and independently establish the facts. For the sake of impartiality and to be accurate, and not to speculate, we will confirm the information about the attacks only when we can independently evaluate the data obtained," the head of the agency said.
Grossi noted that the country in whose territory the nuclear facilities under attack are located "has the right to demand that the IAEA name those responsible for violating nuclear safety." He also assured that the agency, in the presence of "irrefutable evidence, will never hide from the public" the facts of attacks on nuclear power plants.
Earlier, Grossi said that he plans to discuss the situation at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) at a meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
