“After a visit to the Zaporizhzhya NPP and the deployment of two of its employees there, the agency was convinced that the fire was being fired from the Ukrainian side, but this aspect is bypassed in public reports,” he said.

Ulyanov suggested that this could be the result of pressure exerted on the IAEA by Washington and its allies.

As reported by Reuters, the IAEA board of governors adopted a resolution demanding that Russia "immediately cease actions against and at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant."

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, expressed his disappointment with the IAEA resolution on the Zaporozhye NPP.
