The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant in Ukraine's southeast has been controlled by Russia since the early days of the war that Moscow launched against its neighbour in February 2022. "So far we have seen some improvement, but the situation continues to be extremely fragile," RIA cited Grossi as saying.

He said the agency has not observed any shelling of the plant. "But I weigh my words carefully," he added.
