“There can be no question of any withdrawal of the Zaporizhzhya NPP from Russian control or transfer of control over it to some third party,” RIA Novosti quotes her words.

Only the Russian side is able to ensure the physical and nuclear security of the Zaporozhye NPP, Zakharova added.

Earlier, the International Atomic Energy Agency announced the approach to an agreement on the creation of a security zone around the Zaporozhye NPP.
