No one within the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), including the United States, has supported Kiev’s attempt to challenge Russia’s re-election to the IAEA Board of Governors, Russian Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, told TASS.

"The Ukrainian side attempted to question Russia’s re-election to the [IAEA] Board of Governors under far-fetched pretext, but found absolutely no backing within the Board, including from the United States," he said.
