The Russian Foreign Ministry announced the impossibility of the IAEA mission to deal with the demilitarization of the ZNPP

“The IAEA is not engaged in demilitarization and security,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Thus, Vishnevetsky commented on the statement of the Kyiv authorities that the purpose of the mission's visit to the ZNPP could be the demilitarization of the plant.

He stressed that the IAEA has a clear mandate, which is to fulfill its safeguards.

“This is just an irresponsible statement,” the diplomat concluded.

Earlier, the representative of the UN Secretary General Stephane Dujarric said that the UN is ready to facilitate the visit of the delegation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the Zaporozhye NPP through Ukraine.
