Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has confirmed he is ready to visit the Kursk nuclear power plant in Russia at the end of August, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

"We expect that an understanding of the danger that Ukrainian provocations against Russian nuclear power plants represent will prompt the IAEA's management to take concrete action to ensure the safety of nuclear power plants in Zaporizhzhia and Kursk," Zakharova said at a weekly news briefing.

Ukraine launched an "operation" in Russia's western Kursk region nearly two weeks ago.
