The investigation was launched after a complaint by Russia’s foreign intelligence service that Ukraine was storing Western-supplied weapons inside its nuclear power plants
The inspections carried out at Ukrainian nuclear power plants found no military equipment at these facilities, disproving a Russian claim, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced today Raphael Grossi speaking in the European Parliament.
Grossi’s remarks came a day after accusations from Russian foreign intelligence that Ukraine stores Western-supplied weapons inside nuclear power plants power generation across the country — a claim dismissed as false by a senior Ukrainian official.
Grossi told the European Parliament that his agency has established a permanent presence at all of Ukraine’s nuclear facilities and that he ordered today’s inspections to determine whether any of them contain military equipment.
“The result of these inspections was negative,” he said.
Grossi added that this is the second time the IAEA has been able to “disprove allegations that illegal and very dangerous things are taking place at these facilities,” citing earlier accusations of building a “dirty bomb.”
