Zaporizhzhia: On September 1, a team of U.N. experts arrived at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia atomic plant complex to assess the risk of a radiation disaster. Russia and Ukraine accused each other of trying to sabotage the mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the plant in southern central Ukraine. Moscow and Kyiv have regularly been trading blame for shelling in the vicinity and fuelling fears of a Chornobyl-style radiation disaster.
