Most of the IAEA mission members have left the Zaporizhzhia power plant in Ukraine, Interfax reports.
A group of experts, including Director General Rafael Grossi, left the town of Enerhodar where the power plant is located on 1 September; several more experts left today. Two more experts will stay.
“Two people are staying. They will be monitoring the safe operation of the nuclear power plant. On the orders from the mission and Mr. Grossi, they will maintain a permanent presence, and these people will periodically be replaced. He has kept his word, the mission will be permanent," said Alexander Volga, a local pro-Russian occupation “official”.
