Grossi wants to assess first-hand the “nuclear safety and security situation” and press on with efforts to broker a deal to protect the plant. Moscow and Kyiv have repeatedly accused each other of shelling the site of the power station over the past year. Grossi has been pushing for a safety agreement between Ukraine and Russia to protect the facility.
Russia, which invaded Ukraine in February 2022, has been pressing a winter offensive in the east, while Ukraine is expected to launch a counteroffensive using Western-supplied battle tanks and fighting vehicles.
