The US State Department reissued its travel advisories for Ukraine and Russia to warn that 'Russian government security officials may single out and detain US citizens' in both countries.
Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency , is in Ukraine for urgent talks with the Ukrainian government about the safety of the country's nuclear facilities.Grossi posted a photo of himself on Twitter standing in front of an official UN vehicle on Tuesday, saying he had"just crossed the border into Ukraine to start the IAEA's mission to ensure the safety and security of the country's nuclear facilities.
Talks with senior government officials will center on the agency's plans to deliver"urgent technical assistance" and"help avert the risk of an accident that could endanger people and the environment," the statement said.Russian forces have occupied Ukraine's largest nuclear power plant, Zaporizhzhia, since March 4, and the Chernobyl nuclear power plant — site of the infamous 1986 accident — since Feb. 24.
"We can’t afford to lose any more time," he said, adding that the IAEA's expertise is needed urgently to prevent any nuclear accident.The country has 15 nuclear power reactors at four plants, as well as the Chernobyl plant. Staff working at Chernobyl on the day it was captured only recently had the chance to go home, three weeks after they were due to rotate with an incoming team. Workers had been confined to the plant for 10 days and were “exhausted, both mentally and emotionally, but mainly physically," the local mayor said.
