MOSCOW, August 29. /TASS/. Creation of a demilitarized zone around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant is not discussed, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.

"No, there is no talk of that," he told reporters, answering a corresponding question.

Ealier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said that the idea promoted by the West to establish a demilitarized zone around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant would lead to a further increase in risks.
