Russia has reached an agreement with Ukrainian military on jointly ensuring security at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (NPP), Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
“An agreement was reached with the military personnel of the Ukrainian branch of the station guard battalion on joint security of its power units and the sarcophagus,” Zakharova told a briefing.
Moscow intends to further make efforts to ensure the security of the Chernobyl NPP, the diplomat noted.
Additionally, the official said that the formations controlled by Kiev are carrying out provocations, the most revealing of which is sabotage against the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
“Attacks against their own nuclear facilities are already becoming a hallmark of the ruling regime in Ukraine. The blame for this falls entirely on Kiev, and, of course, on [Volodymyr] Zelensky’s American ‘masters’ and US vassals in NATO,” she added.
