This will also enable the IAEA to carry out its verification pursuant to Ukraine’s safeguards obligations under safe and secure conditions and in a timely manner,” the statement reads. According to Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, as reported by the Russian TASS news agency, the West is doing everything it can so as not to allow an IAEA mission to reach the ZaporizhzhiaNuclear Power Plant, while Moscow is sparing no effort to organize such a visit.
