Claim 2: “The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has effectively decided to turn a blind eye to Ukraine’s violation yesterday of the ceasefire agreed through the agency’s mediation for repairs to the external power supply line of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that the IAEA 'turned a blind eye' is a subjective interpretation of the agency's reaction to an alleged ceasefire violation. While one web search result mentions a report that the 'reaction of the IAEA is rather strange' following an attack, there is no independent corroboration from other news organizations or the IAEA itself confirming that they ignored a violation.
