The International Atomic Energy Agency has been forced to slow down, "and in some cases even stop", the process of dismantling and removing radioactive debris from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after a drone strike in February. This was stated by the IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.
Ukraine and Russia are blaming each other for the incident in which a drone damaged the structure built to limit the damage from the nuclear disaster at the Ukrainian plant in 1986.
"I think the Ukrainians themselves do not want to allow a leak after so many years. "That's why we are very proactive here and trying to emphasize the importance of this issue," Grossi told RIA Novosti.
