Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi has described his meetings with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky as a very constructive and comprehensive discussion of the situation in general and, in particular, at Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).

Grossi told reports in Kyiv on Thursday that the parties achieved progress regarding his proposal to strengthen nuclear security around the power plant.

The IAEA Director General also expressed hope for constructive talks with Russia, where he would travel soon, adding that he will have meetings at a very high level.

The key task of the IAEA is to prevent nuclear incidents, Grossi said, adding that the agency’s job is to monitor nuclear security and wellbeing of the personnel.

Grossi also said he would visit Kyiv again soon.
