Russia has urged the U.N. nuclear watchdog to adopt a more objective and clearer stance following a visit by Rafael Grossi to the Kursk nuclear plant. The plant is situated near an area where Ukraine has reportedly mounted an incursion.

Grossi, who serves as the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, highlighted the potential danger of a serious nuclear accident at the facility. During his inspection, he noted damage caused by a drone strike but did not specify the responsible party.

This plea for a balanced perspective underscores the heightened tensions and the critical importance of nuclear safety in the region.
