The Kremlin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the remarks in a press conference on Monday.

Zaporizhzhia is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe and among the 10 largest in the world.

Here are Press TV's latest top stories, 0200 GMT on September 07, 2022.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has called for the establishment of a security and safety zone around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, citing extensive damage at the site amid fighting between Ukraine and Russia.

Russia blames Ukraine for attacking the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant as the IAEA says the facility’s operations have been compromised again.

Unlike the Ukrainian claim, which is still a matter of speculation, Iran's claims over the years have been backed by irrefutable evidence, laying bare the UN nuclear agency's secret dealings with the arrogant powers and their illegitimate offsprings.

Ukrainian officials are accusing the IAEA and UN officials of getting wrong and misleading info on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant case.

The IAEA rejects allegations that its recent visit to a Russian-held Ukrainian nuclear power plant was “manipulated.”

Russia has accused Ukraine of deploying up to 60 “saboteurs” to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant ahead of a visit by UN inspectors.

Both Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of targeting the facility.
