Foreign Minister Tsahkna: IAEA Director General opening Russia’s exhibition is regrettable

“It is deeply regrettable that Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), decided this week to open Russia’s exhibition during the IAEA Annual Conference in Vienna.

Although Grossi has done commendable work on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, where IAEA inspectors are operating to ensure nuclear safety, the opening of Russia’s exhibition and the public recognition of Russia for cooperation in the field of nuclear technology is unacceptable.

The PR show surrounding Russia’s exhibition at the IAEA Annual Conference must in no way overshadow the fact that this very country has, through its military actions, endangered Europe’s largest nuclear power plant for several years and, by occupying it, has created the risk of a serious nuclear accident,” Minister Tsahkna said.
