Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, visits the infamous Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant weeks after Russian troops withdrew from the area. Chernobyl, the scene of the worst nuclear disaster in history, fell into Russian hands on the first day of the country’s invasion of Ukraine, and suffered a power and communications outage. Russian soldiers withdrew from the plant at the end of March, Kyiv said. Since then, the situation has gradually returned to normal, according to daily reports from the IAEA based on information from the Ukrainian regulator. IMAGES
