A delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has arrived in Kyiv ahead of its planned visit to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant later this week.

According to CNN, members of the IAEA delegation were seen by CNN reporters at their hotel in the Ukrainian capital early Tuesday.

Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oleg Nikolenko said on Monday that the mission is headed by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.

As reported, the IAEA mission of 13 experts will arrive at the Zaporizhzhia NPP this week.

The United Nations, the US, and Ukraine called on the Russian Federation to withdraw military equipment and personnel from the nuclear facility.
