Ukraine War : The UN nuclear watchdog chief said the trip would aim to discuss with Ukraine and Russia a "framework" to safeguard the security of Ukraine's nuclear sites.
The head of the UN nuclear watchdog offered Friday to travel to Chernobyl to negotiate with Ukraine and Russia and ensure the security of Ukraine's nuclear sites.
The offer came hours after Russian invasion forces seized control of Europe's largest power plant at Zaporizhzhia after a battle with Ukrainian troops that caused a fire and fears of an accident.
"I have indicated to both the Russian Federation and Ukraine my availability... to travel to Chernobyl as soon as possible," Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told reporters.
"Both sides are considering" the possibility, he added.
