The IAEA refuses to name those responsible for the attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in order to maintain impartiality

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is not naming those responsible for the attacks on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZEPS) in order to maintain impartiality. The general director of the organization, Rafael Grossi, stated this to RIA Novosti, commenting on Russia’s calls to publicly name those responsible for the shelling of the power plant.

He noted that not only the Russian, but also the Ukrainian side makes similar demands. “Sometimes the dissatisfaction is expressed by the Russian Federation, in other cases by Ukraine or Western countries who say: you should point out the culprits,” Grossi said.

However, he emphasized that the IAEA, despite possible dissatisfaction, intends to focus on fulfilling its technical mission, and the agency will leave the conclusions and determination of the political position to the states.
