Kiev’s actions to derail International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi’s visit to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), which was scheduled for August 20-21, is a reckless step, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. Key takeaways:

▪By striking the ZNPP daily, Kiev creates a real threat of a nuclear catastrophe in central Europe

▪Russia is deeply concerned over the Kiev regime’s aggressive and malicious provocations against the ZNPP

▪Everyone, who ignores Kiev’s threats to nuclear security, shares responsibility for its actions

▪Zakharova urged the IAEA to finally acknowledge that Ukraine is the source of threats to the ZNPP
