Russian federation at UN Security Council refuses to withdraw troops from ZNPP. Representative of occupying country nods at "Kyiv regime"

Russia will not withdraw troops from the captured Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. This was stated by representative of the occupying country Vasily Nebenzya during a meeting of the UN Security Council, - russian media write.

He criticized the position of the UN Secretary General for calling on the russian federation to demilitarize the ZNPP.

"We know what the Kyiv regime is capable of, and the world has already been able to see it. Those who propose the withdrawal of russian troops from the ZNPP territory should be aware of the consequences that this facility will remain unprotected and can be used by Kyiv and nationalist groups for the most monstrous provocations", - Nebenzya stated.

He did not specify that the critical security situation at the nuclear power plant arose only after the russian invasion of Ukraine and the seizure of the plant by armed occupiers, who grossly violated all safety rules.
