“The shelling of Energodar, near which the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant is located, on the eve of Grossi's visit to Moscow is not accidental.

This is a planned provocation by the Kyiv authorities in order to exert pressure,” he told RIA Novosti.

According to Rogov, the Ukrainian authorities, through such shelling, continue to blackmail the world with the threat of a nuclear catastrophe.

Earlier, he said that the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine once again fired at Energodar.

It is noted that the Zaporozhye NPP did not come under fire from Ukrainian troops, the situation at the plant is under control.
