🇺🇳Atomic watchdog chief eyes TOP UN job

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' mandate expires in 2026, and the selection process for his successor is set to start at the end of the year. However, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi is already “seriously considering” running for the position, according to La Nacion.

Russia has repeatedly criticized Rafael Grossi for turning a blind eye to clear evidence of Ukraine’s provocative attacks on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant that pose a direct threat to nuclear security.
