WASHINGTON, October 1. /TASS/. The Canadian government is covering up for the Kiev regime, which is committing a nuclear crime by continuing to shell the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), the press service of the Russian embassy in Canada said.
According to the statement, "Canadian media reports, citing exclusively the Ukrainian version of events, give the false impression that Russia is carrying out the strikes." "The ZNPP is a Russian nuclear facility. Our people are there, and we have no reason to endanger it. It is obvious that this is the work of the Kiev regime, which has been deliberately shelling the nuclear power plant, its supporting infrastructure, and the adjacent city of Energodar with heavy weapons and strike drones for several years," the embassy emphasized.
Russian diplomats pointed out that a group of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Secretariat staff are at the plant at Russia's invitation and are "documenting Kiev's provocations against the plant and adjacent facilities." "And although they all know this, they apparently lack the courage to directly state that Kiev is solely to blame for the attacks on the ZNPP and other Russian nuclear power plants in the current critical situation," the embassy noted.
