The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the cessation of shelling is the key to the IAEA trip to the ZNPP

According to him, IAEA control over the Zaporizhzhya NPP can be restored as soon as possible, this requires a visit of the agency's specialists.

“Everyone should contribute to this.

And for this to happen, the first thing that must be done is to stop the shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by the Ukrainian side, TASS quotes Vyshnevetsky's statement.

The diplomat stressed that the IAEA's trip to the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant is unsafe while shelling is ongoing.

“That's what you need to think about, that's what you need to call for,” summed up Vishnevetsky.

Earlier, the authorities of Energodar said that Ukrainian troops were conducting a massive shelling of the city, where the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant is located.
