On Tuesday, during the Security Council meeting, Russia’s ambassador to the UN expressed regret that the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) did not indicate the responsibility of Ukraine, which Moscow accuses of bombing the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. , reports AFP.

“We regret that in your report (…) the source of these bombings is not directly named,” Vasyl Nebenzya said, stating that the report, remotely presented by the head of the IAEA to the Council, is “confirmation” of the fact that the “only threat” to the site address constitute “bombing and sabotage by the Ukrainian armed forces.”

A few minutes earlier, the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, condemned in a video the fact that the physical integrity of the nuclear power plant “continues to be violated”, calling the targeting of it “unacceptable” and asking for the creation of a protective zone. “safe zone”.

“We are playing with fire,” he said.

But after a mission to the plant a few days ago, the agency’s report released Tuesday did not blame either country for “significant damage” to the plant’s buildings.

It is not surprising that Westerners pointed the finger at Russia, which occupies this place.

“Despite the fact that Russia is tap-dancing here today to avoid responsibility for its actions, Russia has no right to expose the world to unnecessary risk and nuclear catastrophe,” said US Ambassador for Special Political Affairs Jeffrey DeLaurentis.
