A visit by Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi who was expected to visit the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant later on Wednesday has been postponed until June 15.

This statement came by Renat Karchaa, an adviser to the director general of Russia’s Rosenergoatom nuclear power engineering company.

"[His] mission has been put off till next day," Karchaa said, without elaborating.

Earlier, several media reports announced that Grossi would visit the Zaporozhye nuke plant on Wednesday. On June 13, the IAEA chief visited Kyiv. 

Following a news conference in the Ukrainian capital, he mentioned that Grossi would go to the power plant where he would spend a few hours to assess the situation.
