Transfer of control over ZNPP to Ukraine or another country is impossible – Russian Foreign Ministry
Russia claims that Zaporizhzhia NPP is a "Russian nuclear facility" and that it is impossible to transfer control over it.
According to Censor.NET, the statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry was quoted by Russian media.
"ZNPP is a Russian nuclear facility. It is impossible to transfer control over it to Ukraine or any other country," the Russian ministry said.
The Russian Foreign Ministry claims that ZNPP employees are allegedly Russian citizens, "their lives cannot be played with, especially given the atrocities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
"Joint operation of the station with any state is unacceptable. The intelligence services of NATO countries have sabotage potential, which makes it impossible to temporarily allow representatives of these states to ZNPP," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
