IAEA's Grossi on Ukraine: 'We expect that no use of a nuclear weapon will take place'

In an interview with FRANCE 24 from Vienna, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency addressed the danger of nuclear weapons being used in the Ukraine conflict. Asked about recent threats by Moscow, Rafael Grossi said: "We expect that no use of a nuclear weapon whatsoever will take place in this or in any other conflict". He went on to call the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine "very precarious", adding that he was still hoping for a deal on the establishment of a demilitarised safe zone around the plant. "We need to do this now. It's not impossible, we have a credible, viable proposal on the table," he said.
