IAEA proposals on the demilitarization of the Zaporozhye NPP are not feasible

During a session at the Eastern Economic Forum on September 7, Vladimir Putin said that he trusted the IAEA report on the situation at the ZNPP. The President of Russia noted that the IAEA is under pressure from Western countries, which is why the agency’s report did not indicate that it was Ukraine that was shelling the ZNPP. “[Поэтому] they cannot directly say that shelling is carried out from Ukrainian territory. Well, these are obvious things. We control the station, our servicemen are stationed there. Why are we shooting on our own, or what? Putin added.
