“Of course, we are using this situation to the maximum in order to objectively and honestly show the situation, who is firing, from which side the shells are flying, which shells.
It would be foolish to take the position of offended.
We don’t have much hope for the IAEA,” Balitsky said.
He added that the local authorities will ensure the security of the IAEA mission, show them the places of shelling, and also "do everything so that those who want to hear, hear."
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.
Prior to this, the chairman of the movement “We are together with Russia”, the chairman of the branch of the Russian Historical Society of the Zaporozhye region, Vladimir Rogov, in an interview with RT, said that the massive shelling of the region from Kyiv is an attempt by the regime of Vladimir Zelensky to disrupt the upcoming visit of the IAEA delegation and revenge on local residents for their desire convey the truth about what is happening.
On August 29, it became known that the IAEA mission headed by Director General Rafael Grossi left the capital of Austria for the Zaporozhye NPP.
