Russian MFA expressed outrage over IAEA statements

Russia can disallow further operation of IAEA experts should it deem their work unnecessary, as their presence depends on Russian Federation consent

Russia's Foreign Ministry on Nov. 14 warned that it can expel International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors from the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant if it finds their work "inappropriate."

Russian troops are preparing for assault operations in the Zaporizhzhia sector, specifically in several settlements. Potential strike directions include Hulyaipole, Orikhiv, and Kamyanske

Russia is concentrating forces and preparing for assaults on the southern front, with a specific threat to Zaporizhzhia identified.

The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that IAEA experts are at the ZNPP only with Russian consent and as long as Moscow considers their stay justified.

Rafael Grossi said that IAEA experts would remain at the ZNPP until the war is possibly frozen.
