Western countries have been very selective in complying with the seven pillars of nuclear safety, specified by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in March 2022, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the Vienna-based international organizations Mikhail Ulyanov said.

"We take a detached view of these seven pillars, although, in general, they are professionally formulated. The problem is that Western countries comply with these pillars very selectively," the Russian diplomat added.
