Update 339 – Statement by the IAEA Director General on the situation in Ukraine (EN)

The Ukrainian electrical grid was again the target of military activity, over the past weekend, leading to significant impacts to several regions of Ukraine and nuclear power plant (NPP) operations, stated by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi.

Power lines linking Ukraine with neighboring countries were disconnected, triggering a cascade of power lines being disconnected within Ukraine. As a result, a unit at one NPP disconnected from the grid due to fluctuations and automatically shutdown. Other units at other NPPs were forced to reduce power. The Chornobyl site experienced a complete loss of off‑site power and relied on its emergency diesel generators for approximately one hour.

"This latest grid event in Ukraine is a stark reminder of the ever-present risks to nuclear safety and security arising from deteriorating grid conditions. Extensive repairs are needed to improve the reliability of power supply to Ukrainian NPPs and to strengthen their resilience to further grid events," Director General Grossi said. “Once again, I call for maximum military restraint, as well as full observation of the Seven Indispensable Pillars to enable these essential repairs to take place.”

Amid increased military activity impacting the Ukrainian electrical grid, three IAEA teams are visiting 10 substances critical to nuclear safety and security in Ukraine. The objective of this two-week IAEA mission is to assess the continuing damage to the grid, review repair efforts and identify practical steps to strengthen the resilience of off-site power supplies to the country's NPPs. One of the teams has also visited Kyiv, where they discussed further IAEA support to NPP operations under deteriorating grid conditions.

This is the second such mission in as many months; the previous mission took place inDecember 2025, which confirmed the effects of cumulative impacts on NPP operations and staff conditions.

Further evidence of decreasing grid stability within Ukraine was apparent at the Chornobyl NPP in late-January. The IAEA team was informed that the diesel generators for the site's New Safe Confinement and the Interim Spent Nuclear Fuel Dry Storage Facility unexpectedly started on Friday, 23 January, due to fluctuations from the grid. The diesel generators for both facilities were manually put in standby mode within minutes. “This further highlights the impact that military activity on the grid can have on safety systems,” Director General Grossi added.

Earlier last week, Chornobyl NPP detected 44 drones within their surveillance zone. On Tuesday last week, the IAEA team at Rivne NPP sheltered at their hotel, while two drones were detected within the plant's surveillance zone. Another six drones were detected at Rivne NPP last week.

Over the past two weeks, IAEA teams at the Khmelnitsky and South Ukraine NPPs safely rotated.

Tehran, February 11 (Xinhua) — The West's "wall of mistrust" and the US's excessive demands are hindering progress in nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Wednesday while addressing celebrations marking the 47th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

According to him, Iran does not seek to develop nuclear weapons and is “ready for any verification of this.”

"We believe that the region's problems can only be resolved by regional countries, not by outside states," the president noted, adding that Tehran will never give in to excessive demands and aggression.

At the same time, he stated that Iran is sincerely following the path of diplomacy and interacting with West Asian countries to ensure peace in the region. –0–

Moscow, February 11 (Xinhua) — The development of relations between Moscow and Beijing has a stabilizing effect on the entire system of international relations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said during government hour in the State Duma on Wednesday.

"The development of our ties with the People's Republic of China has a stabilizing effect on the entire system of international relations and, at the same time, plays a crucial role in solving the strategic task of forming a belt of good-neighborliness along Russia's borders," said S. Lavrov.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry called China Russia's "great eastern neighbor." "Our diplomacy consciously promotes an honest, equal, and mutually beneficial partnership with all who are willing to engage with us on these same principles. An example of such cooperation is undoubtedly the partnership and friendly relations with the People's Republic of China, our great eastern neighbor," the minister noted.

Russia will actively and productively prepare for Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to China this year, he added.

"The Russian head of state gratefully accepted the invitation to make an official visit to China in the first half of this year. We will prepare for it actively and productively, I hope," Lavrov emphasized.

China's Foreign Ministry: The US is inventing excuses to resume nuclear testing

Beijing, February 11 (Xinhua) — The US accusation that China conducted nuclear explosive tests is completely groundless. China opposes the US inventing pretexts to justify the resumption of its own nuclear tests, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Wednesday.

The United States continues to distort and denigrate China's nuclear policy, which is essentially a political ploy aimed at achieving nuclear hegemony and evading its own nuclear disarmament commitments. Lin Jian made this statement at a regular press briefing, responding to journalists' requests for comment.

China resolutely opposes this. The United States is the main source of disruption to the international nuclear order and global strategic stability, he emphasized.

In the area of arms control, the United States allowed the New START Treaty to expire, which seriously undermined mutual trust between major countries and threatened global strategic stability, Lin Jian concluded. -0-

CANBERRA, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday officially welcomed Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia amid widespread protests against his visit.

E. Albanese greeted I. Herzog at Parliament House in Canberra on Wednesday and thanked him for his support and solidarity with the Australian Jewish community following the anti-Semitic terrorist attack on Bondi Beach in Sydney in December.

E. Albanese said he used the meeting with I. Herzog to call on the Israeli side to take full responsibility for the death of Australian citizen Lalzawmi Frank, who was providing humanitarian aid and was killed as a result of Israeli strikes on Gaza in April 2024.

Speaking alongside E. Albanese, I. Herzog noted that the visit was emotional, but it was important to strengthen the Jewish community after the mass shooting that left 16 people dead, including one of the two alleged perpetrators.

In response to I. Herzog's visit, pro-Palestinian protests took place across Australia, including a demonstration in central Sydney on Monday evening that escalated into clashes between protesters and police, leading to 27 arrests. –0–

BEIJING, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) — State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian on Wednesday criticized Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration for imposing restrictions and obstacles on cross-Strait exchanges in pursuit of "Taiwan independence" and selfish gains.

The Taiwan DPP administration, led by Lai Qingde, is the biggest obstacle to cross-strait cooperation. Its actions have sparked sharp criticism and discontent from various sectors of Taiwanese society, Zhu Fenglian noted at a regular press conference.

Zhu Fenglian called on Taiwan compatriots to firmly oppose the regressive actions of the Lai Qingde administration in Taiwan and promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation in various fields.

According to her, air traffic across the Taiwan Strait was disrupted due to the intervention of the DPP administration. Previously served routes have not yet resumed normal operations.

By the end of 2025, the passenger load factor on routes across the Taiwan Strait reached an average of 80 percent, reflecting the high demand for direct air service across the Strait.

“We hope that the Taiwanese side will listen to public opinion and lift the unjustified restrictions on flights across the Strait as soon as possible,” she concluded. -0-

Rosneft summarized the results of its corporate volunteer program, "Good Deeds Platform," for 2025. Rosneft volunteers implemented approximately 1,700 social projects and events, involving over 108,000 Company employees.

Corporate volunteering is crucial for addressing socially significant issues in the regions where Rosneft operates and encompasses a variety of areas: humanitarian, social, sports, and environmental.

One of the main areas of volunteer work in 2025 was events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Rosneft volunteers across the country held events aimed at preserving historical memory, strengthening ties between generations, and promoting patriotic education. Employees provided assistance to veterans, organized the cleanup and repair of monuments and military graves, and conducted courage lessons at sponsored children's institutions. Volunteers also organized patriotic car and bike rides, planted alleys of fame in many cities, and unfurled the 80-meter St. George's Ribbon.

Particular attention was paid to supporting children. Over the course of the year, volunteers conducted over 360 events, benefiting over 17,000 children. Volunteers supported schools and kindergartens, participated in organizing school reunions for children from low-income families, and conducted career guidance workshops to introduce them to the oil industry profession. In Moscow, excursions were organized for children from family centers to children's parks, zoos, and sporting events. For example, volunteers regularly organized trips for children to matches of the CSKA hockey club, owned by Rosneft, the Moscow Zoo, and many other places. Oil workers also actively participated in national and regional charity events for children, including the interactive educational project "City of Safety," the "Get Your Child Ready for School" campaign, the "Box of Courage," and others.

Support for the blood donor movement is an important part of Rosneft's corporate culture. In 2025, 88 blood donor events were held at the Company's facilities, with over 8,000 employees participating.

Significant attention was paid to environmental volunteering as part of Rosneft's environmental initiatives. Employees conducted over 400 environmental campaigns across the country, including the improvement of public and natural areas and waste separation. For example, the Company's subsidiaries recycled 1,000 tons of waste paper. Furthermore, employees regularly replenish water resources in the regions where they operate with valuable fish species and participate in tree planting. Over 34,000 volunteers participated in environmental volunteer projects in 2025.

The "Good Deeds Platform" program successfully fosters corporate culture, develops team spirit, and enables employees to make a tangible contribution to society. Young activists from the "Movement of the First" have proven to be reliable supporters of Rosneft volunteers. Schoolchildren and teenagers eagerly respond to the call to participate in thematic and environmental projects.
