Grossi had been expected to visit the facility on June 14 following talks in Kyiv on June 13, but a diplomatic source said the visit would be delayed by "some hours." "He's waiting to be able to travel safely," said the senior Ukrainian government official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity. The official did not say when Grossi would arrive at the plant in southeastern Ukraine. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
