What you need to know:

According to Alexey Likhachev the key topic of the talks was the issue of ensuring nuclear and physical security.

“Yesterday, I arrived in Kaliningrad to continue what has been a constant process of consultation and exchange with the Russian Federation and in particular with the director general of Rosatom about the situation. There is one concept, which is very important, that apart from our responsibilities, the Russian Federation on one hand, Ukraine on the other hand, and IAEA as international global nuclear institution, we all have a common interest, a common responsibility in ensuring that the present difficult circumstance we are going through are in no way aggravated by the eventuality of a nuclear accident. This requires enormous zeal, professionalism and a clear professional focus at what is at stake. I can say that I have had a very understanding ear on Mr Likhachev’s presence here,” he highlighted.
