International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director-general Rafael Grossi said there is a “common view” between Russia and the UN agency that a restart of the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station in Ukraine should not happen in the current situation.

Grossi told journalists before the IAEA’s general conference on Monday (9 June) that the matter was discussed with Alexei Likhachev, chief executive of Russia's state-owned nuclear corporation Rosatom, in Kaliningrad last week.
