Two “relatively small” research contracts between the agency and the aggressor country were signed between 2016-2019.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has funded the Russian government’s scientific research in Crimea since its annexation of the peninsula in 2014. This has been confirmed by an investigation by the English-language editorial office. Radio Liberty (Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty).

Two “relatively small” IAEA research contracts with Russian state scientific institutions, which include field work in temporarily occupied Crimea, were signed between 2016 and 2019. The first contract was renewed last summer day of 2019.

In a media statement, the IAEA noted that the agency continues to recognize Crimea as Ukrainian in accordance with the UN General Assembly resolution of 2014 and added that these studies are “purely technical in nature” and noted that the it “does not represent any change in the agency’s position on the status of Crimea”.

“The names used by the counterparts and the presentation of materials in their reports do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of the IAEA regarding the legal status of any country or territory or its authority,” assured the representative of IAEA.

He called the counterpart of one of the projects – the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, an international research center in the city of Dubno near Moscow – “not a Russian organization, but an international intergovernmental research organization located in Russia. “

Ukraine’s permanent diplomatic mission in Vienna, where the IAEA is headquartered, told reporters that the Ukrainian government has not approved any IAEA research projects in Crimea.

“Our position remains clear: Ukraine strongly opposes any international projects or any other activities in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, including the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, as it violates the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state,” the diplomats said in a statement.

As is known, currently in Ukraine seven substations have been identified as important for the transmission of power from nuclear power plants, which are covered by the work of the missions of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
