Russia's military presence at Ukraine's occupied Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant and fighting near the facility pose a security risk, the chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, has told the organization's board of governors. Grossi referred to his recent Ukraine report, in which he spoke of a "continued, significant military presence" at the nuclear site. A team of IAEA observers has been permanently at the nuclear power plant near the front line for a year. Russia announced the capture of the Zaporizhzhya power station in early March 2022.
