KYIV, June 7 - Ukraine has denied Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Grossi a visit to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhia nuclear power plant until it is liberated, Energoatom reported.

"The Ukrainian side did not invite Grossi to visit Zaporizhia NPP and previously refused him such a visit, stressing that a visit to the plant would be possible only when control over it is returned to our country," Energoatom said on Telegram on Tuesday.
