A few days after Grossi’s visit to Ukraine
This exchange comes a few days after the visit to Ukraine by Rafael Grossi, director of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), “with whom President Macron will meet soon”, according to the Elysée, which indicates that Emmanuel Macron and Volodymyr Zelensky underlined “the importance of supporting the action of the IAEA on the spot”.
Rafael Grossi went to the Zaporijjia power plant on Wednesday, in search of a solution acceptable to kyiv and Moscow to secure the site in southeastern Ukraine. The director of the IAEA, who spent a few hours there before returning to the territories under Ukrainian control, wants to work on “principles” capable of minimizing the risk of a nuclear “catastrophe”.
