According to him, according to RIA Novosti, such actions of the company prove that "SVR hit the mark."

“If this is so, then it is necessary to divert public attention as much as possible from nuclear power plants located in the territory controlled by Ukraine, and switch maximum attention to the Zaporizhzhya NPP,” Karchaa explained.

Perhaps they took advantage of this occasion and thus exacerbated the situation around the ZNPP, he added.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the Russian side called on the IAEA secretariat to carefully study the information of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service on the placement of weapons by Ukraine at nuclear power plants.

On January 25, Karchaa expressed confidence that the IAEA inspectors “would not find” military equipment at Ukrainian nuclear power plants due to the fact that they are completely dependent on Washington.
