According to Korikov, the IAEA experts who arrived at the Zaporizhzhia NPP and were attacked by a Russian drone on December 10, 2024, were supposed to replace their colleagues who had been at the plant for two months. But due to the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation, the rotation had to be postponed again.
"Since December 10, those IAEA colleagues who went there have been there as of now. Rafael Grossi, when he visited Ukraine a few weeks ago, brought with him a team that was supposed to go to the occupied ZNPP and replace the team that has been there for almost two months, but due to such a provocative action of the aggressor, the rotation did not take place, it was postponed and as of now it has not yet taken place," Korikov said.
