13.06.2024

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation together with Russian National Guard units ensured the safe conduct of the next rotation of the International Atomic Energy Agency mission observers at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.

For the safety of the IAEA observers, a ceasefire was declared along the entire route from the designated crossing point - the destroyed bridge near Kamenskoye in Zaporozhye region - and was strictly observed by all Russian servicemen.

Before the movement began, Russian sappers surveyed the area for unexploded foreign and Ukrainian munitions. After the engineering reconnaissance was completed, Russian servicemen ensured the safe passage of the mission observers and their delivery to the station.

Four inspectors arrived as part of the mission, the task is to observe and assess the safety condition of the Zaporozhye NPP.

The IAEA experts have been present at the Zaporozhye NPP since 1 September 2022 after the first visit of the Agency's Director General Rafael Grossi to the plant. The Zaporozhye NPP is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.
