IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi will hold a press conference on Friday after a recent trip to Ukraine and Russia.

On Thursday, the Ukrainian state nuclear company said most of the Russian forces that had occupied the Chornobyl nuclear power station after invading Ukraine have left the defunct plant, suggesting radiation concerns had driven them away.

Though Russian troops had seized control of Chornobyl soon after the Feb. 24 invasion, the plant's Ukrainian staff continued to oversea the safe storage of spent nuclear fuel and supervise the concrete-encased remains of the reactor that exploded inn 1986, causing the world's worst nuclear accident.
