The director of the UN atomic energy agency has arrived in Russia for talks on nuclear safety in Ukraine, where Europe's largest nuclear power plant is at risk amid the raging war.

This was reported by the Associated Press.

The head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, has arrived in the city of Sochi.

There he will hold a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Grossi visited the Zaporizhzhia power plant in February as part of the IAEA's efforts to prevent a nuclear disaster amid ongoing hostilities.

Then he also met with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

Grossi believes it is important to maintain a dialogue with both sides.

According to him, the situation with the plant, which is the largest in Europe, continues to be very fragile.

The Director of the IAEA noted that he expects to discuss with the Russian President technical issues related to the future operational status of the Zaporizhzhia NPP.

The IAEA has repeatedly expressed concern about the Zaporizhia plant amid fears of a potential nuclear disaster.

The nuclear plant has been repeatedly caught in the crossfire since Russia invaded Ukraine.
