“We continue to believe that a controlled shutdown of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant reactors will be the safest and least risky solution,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Earlier it was reported that as a result of shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the roof of the special building of the Zaporizhzhya NPP was broken, where fresh fuel for the station's reactors is stored.

As noted in the Kremlin, the IAEA mission will arrive at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant through the zone controlled by the Ukrainian military.
