"Russia is already using nuclear weapons." Zelensky does not consider the controlled closure of the Zaporozhye NPP

“I know that the Russians would like the reactors to be disconnected from the Ukrainian network and connected to the Russian. No, we do not agree with this, ”he said. The head of state added that there should be no military and military equipment on the territory of the nuclear power plant. And NPP workers should not be surrounded by people with firearms. “You see, they occupied our nuclear station, six blocks. The largest in Europe. It means six Chernobyl . . .

So they use nuclear weapons, it is nuclear weapons, ”Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized. On September 1, the IAEA delegation of 14 experts visited the Zaporozhye NPP in a temporarily captured energy. Specialists led by Raphael Grossi spent several hours in the territory. There are several representatives of the mission at the station. The CEO of the IAEA said that the delegation would establish a constant presence on the NPP.

Energoatom has previously noted that the Russians make every effort to prevent the MAIA mission to get acquainted with the real situation at the Zaporizhzhia NPP. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky also stated that Russia has done many cynical things to deceive the IAEA. Grossi stated that the physical whole of the Zaporozhye NPP was violated several times, which was unacceptable.
