Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to allow independent inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, resolving a dispute over their travel route.
The decision comes amid escalating international alarm over intensified fighting around the plant, with both sides blaming each other for attacks and raising fears of a potential nuclear catastrophe.
The agreement follows diplomatic efforts, including French President Emmanuel Macron's engagement, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres's call for Russia not to disconnect the plant from Ukraine's national power grid.
