Russia supports the idea of ​​UN atomic supervisor Rafael Grossi about trilateral meetings with Ukraine to ensure the safety of nuclear facilities there during the Russian invasion but not in Chernobyl when Grossi wants, Watchdog said.

Russian invasion to Ukraine is the first war raging in the country with advanced and established nuclear power programs, the international atomic energy agency said.

The country has four operational nuclear power plants, including the largest capacity in Europe, in Zaporizhzhia near Crimea.

A close building but separate from the reactor in Zaporizhzhia caught fire last week after what Grossi said seemed to be a Russian military projectile hitting it. Russia blames Ukrainian sabbots. Russian troops now control plants, with Ukrainian staff working under their orders.

The fire went out and the reactor was not damaged but the incident highlighted the potential consequences of disaster if nuclear plants were beaten.

Grossi proposed three directions in Chernobyl, where Russia has confiscated radioactive waste facilities near the dead power plant where the worst nuclear accident in the world occurred in 1986. The aim was to ensure the security of Ukrainian nuclear facilities.

Russia supports the idea of ​​grossi about trilateral meetings and we hope that Ukraine will also work together,” said the Ambassador of the Russian IAEA Mikhail Ulyanov told reporters on Monday.

I believe Chernobyl is not the best place for such meetings. There are many capitals in the world.”

Grossi said on Sunday he was “very worried” after Ukraine said Russian troops had turned off some cellular networks and the internet in Zaporizhzhia, making communication harder, and communication with Chernobyl now was only possible via email.
