“No signals from his side to the Ukrainian leadership have been sounded.

He is either unable or unwilling to accept reality.

How else to explain the lack of will shown by him, bordering on the connivance of Ukrainian attacks on the ZNPP?”

- says the statement of the diplomat, published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Zakharova stressed that due to the obstruction of Guterres and the Secretariat headed by him, the practically agreed international mission of the IAEA had previously failed.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said that the organization intends to intensify contacts with Russia, Ukraine and the UN to send a mission to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

According to Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya, in the event of a catastrophe at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant due to shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the responsibility will fall on the Western sponsors of Kyiv.
