Moreover, funding has been allocated to create a dedicated website to disseminate fabricated content in various languages, primarily in South East and South Asia, Central and Latin America, and African states, as well as to prepare a number of informational materials on the subject for publication in the leading American and European mass media.

The IAEA and Pentagon officially refuted the claims made by the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba on 9 March 2022, regarding a purported ‘failure in the cooling system of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant’ and ‘radiation leakage’, while the Western mass media is instructed ‘to ignore under any pretext’ this information.

According to an official statement by IAEA Director General R. Grossi, it is vital to keep in mind that on 1 April 2022, Ukrainian officials gained control over the Chernobyl nuclear power station after Russian delegates signed the requisite protocol.

In turn, many IAEA missions to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (in April, June, November 2022, and January 2023) verified the normal radiation background at the facility and the surrounding areas without any irregularities.

The Chernobyl NPP's radiation condition remained steady, according to the IAEA Report on Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards in Ukraine, which was made in September 2022.

In order to continuously monitor the radiation condition at the facility, at least two IAEA inspectors have been stationed there since January 2023.
