MOSCOW, April 10. /TASS/. Moscow will continue trying to get international organizations to acknowledge what is really going on around the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and in Ukraine as a whole, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a news briefing, commenting on the Kiev regime’s attacks on the nuclear facility.
"At our initiative, in the near future, an extraordinary session of the IAEA Board of Governors will be called. The issue of Ukrainian attacks on the plant will also be raised during a briefing of the UN Security Council. Our goal is that relevant international organizations acknowledge what is happening not only around the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant but around Ukraine in general," the diplomat said. "This should be an open, direct, fact-based conversation. It seems to me, it is long overdue. And the situation around the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant vividly confirms this," she added.
Zakharova also pointed out that the West is sweeping the situation under the rug. "They are literally blocking any news about it in their own mainstream propaganda news outlets," she highlighted. "Moreover, here and there we even hear the direct approval of criminal actions by the Kiev regime, including those committed against nuclear facilities: as if the West thinks that the Kiev regime can do whatever it wants in general, and there can be no exceptions," the diplomat added.
According to her, Russia will exert the utmost effort "not to leave such abetting to the crimes of the Kiev regime unnoticed by the sober-thinking majority in the international community."
On April 7, the Ukrainian military conducted three drone attacks on the ZNPP, wounding three employees at the nuclear facility. One of the drones hit the sixth power unit of the ZNPP. On April 8, another Ukrainian kamikaze drone was downed over the nuke plant, and its debris fell on the roof of the same power unit. On April 9, the facility’s press service reported that a Ukrainian drone attacked a ZNPP building housing the world’s lone full-scale reactor hall simulator.
