“We are glad that Russia did what was necessary to ensure the safety of our inspectors,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Thus, he responded to a request to comment on the statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense that Moscow was perplexed due to the lack of reaction of the UN Secretary General to the incident with saboteurs.

“As with any UN mission, it is the responsibility of those who control a certain area: to ensure the safety of UN personnel,” Dujarric added.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on the landing of two groups of Ukrainian saboteurs on the coast of the Kakhovka reservoir near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

It was noted that three paratroopers were captured.
