The Committee on Energy appealed to IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi regarding the threat to nuclear safety due to massive attacks by the Russian Federation, UNN reports.
The Committee expressed its deep appreciation to the IAEA for its unwavering and courageous efforts to support Ukraine's nuclear and energy security. However, given the constant threat of large-scale attacks by the Russian Federation, the Committee requests that consideration be given to establishing a permanent presence of IAEA experts at key Ukrainian substations and other critical facilities.
Such a measure, the appeal states, is vital to ensure continuous oversight and guarantee nuclear and energy safety.
