"The fate of Europe's largest nuclear power plant and the consequences of its problems go beyond the purely technical aspect. That is why I talked to the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, here, and I had also spoken with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. These are the issues of global importance related to international peace and security. These are the issues of high political importance," Mr. Grossi said.

The IAEA Head noted the need to maintain dialogue with Moscow and Kiev. "We need to continue the dialogue here, which is natural, since we have supported Ukraine from the very beginning, but [we should communicate] with Moscow as well, since Russians run the station," he added.
