“The Russian side has confirmed its readiness to provide its (International Atomic Energy Agency) inspectors with the necessary assistance,” the Kremlin said in a statement after a call between Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron – their first in nearly three months. the French Agency. the news agency reported. “The two presidents will speak again on this issue in the coming days after the discussions between the technical teams and before the deployment of the mission,” a French reading of the call said. Earlier, Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of Russia’s Security Council, accused the United States of encouraging Ukrainian attacks on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine. The facility has been controlled by Russian forces since shortly after the invasion began on February 24. “In the event of a technological disaster, its consequences will be felt in every corner of the world,” Patrushev said. “Washington, London and their accomplices will bear full responsibility for this.” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Friday that the presence of Russian troops at the plant actually ensured that a “Chernobyl scenario” would not unfold there, Reuters news agency reported. Ukraine has accused Russia of storing troops and weapons at the Zaporizhzhia plant and using its territory to launch attacks on Ukrainian-controlled territory. Ukrainian officials and military analysts say Moscow’s forces cynically used the plant as a shield, knowing the Ukrainians would hesitate to fire. Russia has denied the accusations and, in turn, has accused Ukrainian forces of repeatedly shelling the plant. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s state nuclear company Energoatom said on Friday that Russian troops planned to disconnect the plant from the Ukrainian electricity grid, according to Reuters. In a statement, Energoatom said it believed Moscow was preparing to carry out a “large-scale provocation” there.

Russian Ministry of Defense/Handout via REUTERS Moscow had claimed on Thursday that Kyiv was mounting a “provocation” at the plant. After a visit to Ukraine on Thursday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Zelensky had asked him to ensure Russia removed weapons stored at the plant as “an important step for world peace”. “Zelensky asked us specifically: that Russia remove all mines and similar (weapons) there and the issue quickly ceases to be scary. Because it is a threat,” Erdogan said. Erdogan, whose country maintains close ties with both Ukraine and Russia, said he would discuss the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying “Russia must do its part in this matter.” The Turkish president made the comments to a group of Turkish journalists on his return from a visit with Zelensky and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to Ukraine late Thursday. His comments were reported by Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency and other media on Friday. Elsewhere, at least five people were killed and 10 others wounded in Russian shelling of towns and villages in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, regional authorities said. The shelling destroyed residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in the war zone where Russian forces are pushing to overtake areas still held by Ukraine. And at least one civilian was killed early Friday in Russian shelling of the city of Kharkiv, northwest of the Donetsk region, while Russian missiles in the southern port of Mykolaiv again hit port facilities and a university building hit by shelling earlier this week. One person was injured in the attacks, authorities said. Pamela Falk contributed to this report. More
