VIENNA, September 25. /TASS/. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is fully aware of the situation at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and echoes Russia’s assessment of the threats posed by Ukrainian armed units, CEO of Russia’s Rosatom state nuclear corporation Alexey Likhachev said on Monday.

"The IAEA has a complete picture of what is going on at the station, both in terms of security, the social agenda and existing threats. The IAEA specialists may not always be on the same page with us or understand how we feel, but they see and assess the current situation at the Zaporozhye NPP just like we do. And this assessment is as follows: the only threat to the Zaporozhye NPP’s security emanates from the reckless behavior of Ukrainian armed units," he said on the sidelines of the 67th annual session of the agency’s General Conference.

According to Likhachev, there are no threats other than shelling attacks and acts of terror by these units. "We have coped with all other threats," he noted, adding that IAEA inspectors have been present at the facility for more than a year.

The IAEA "listens to and hears" Russia, he stressed.
