🇷🇺🇫🇷 Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron
🔹The two leaders had in an in-depth and frank exchange of views on the situation in and around Ukraine, particularly on the matter of providing security at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.
🔹The Russian side drew attention to Ukraine’s regular shelling of the plant’s facilities, including nuclear waste disposal storage, which can lead to catastrophic consequences. The Russian President mentioned measures undertaken by Russian specialists to ensure the plant’s physical security and stressed the need to put pressure on Kiev to stop the shelling of the nuclear power plant immediately. Both sides expressed their willingness to eschew political bias to work together on the situation around the Zaporozhye NPP with IAEA involvement.
🔹Vladimir Putin further stressed the fact that Ukrainian armed forces have been using weapons supplied by the West to specifically target non-military infrastructure in Donbass cities, leading to the suffering of civilians.
🔹In discussing the issue of global food security, it was reaffirmed that the grain being exported from the Black Sea ports should be exported to developing countries first. With this goal in mind, it is of utmost importance for the European Commission to avoid impeding shipments of Russian agricultural products and fertilisers to the markets of Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
🔹It was agreed to maintain dialogue on the issues discussed at various levels, including the ministerial level.
The conversation took place at the initiative of the French side.

🇷🇺🇩🇪 Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Olaf Scholz
The two leaders focused on developments around Ukraine in the context of Russia’s special military operation.
🔹In particular, Vladimir Putin directed the attention of the Federal Chancellor to Ukraine’s flagrant violations of international humanitarian law, the continuous shelling of cities in Donbass, which is killing civilians and inflicting deliberate damage on civilian infrastructure.
🔹The security of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) was also discussed. The President of Russia described in detail the IAEA-coordinated measures to ensure the physical protection of the ZNPP that Ukraine is subjecting to continuous missile attacks, despite the serious risk of causing a major disaster.
🔹During an exchange of views on the implementation of the grain deal concluded in Istanbul on July 22, Vladimir Putin emphasised its package character and explained his concerns over the geographic imbalance in Ukrainian maritime shipments of grain, only a negligible share of which goes to the neediest countries. Moreover, there has been no progress in removing obstacles to Russian food and fertiliser exports.
🔹The President confirmed that Russia is ready to deliver large quantities of grain to external markets and to provide needy countries with the fertiliser blocked in European ports at no charge.
🔹In response to a question from the Federal Chancellor, Vladimir Putin noted that, unlike Kiev, Russia grants the International Committee of the Red Cross access to POWs.
🔹Describing the current energy situation in Europe, Vladimir Putin emphasised that Russia has always been and remains a reliable supplier of energy resources and fulfils all of its contractual obligations, while any interruptions, for example in the operation of Nord Stream 1, are the result of anti-Russia sanctions that interfere with the pipeline’s technical maintenance. Considering that gas supply via Ukraine and Poland was stopped by their governments, as well as the refusal to put Nord Stream 2 into operation, the attempts to shift the blame for Europe’s energy problems onto Russia look very cynical.
🔹The leaders agreed to maintain further contact.

The President expressed his condolences to the family and friends of Komsomolskaya Pravda Editor-in-Chief Vladimir Sungorkin
“He was a patriot, and an extraordinary, creative, and gifted person. He travelled a long journey, starting as a reporter covering the construction of the Baikal-Amur Mainline and going on to head of one of the largest and most popular media outlets, the legendary Komsomolka. And he always set an example of loyalty to his vocation, to professional ethics, and could rally his colleagues to build a real team of like-minded people,” the President’s message reads, in part.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
🔹The primary focus was on the implementation of the Istanbul package agreements on Ukrainian grain exports from Black Sea ports and exports of Russian foods and fertilisers. Both leaders emphasised the importance of prioritising the food needs of countries in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
🔹Antonio Guterres informed Vladimir Putin about the efforts of the Secretariat and other UN agencies to remove all obstacles to the supply of Russian agricultural produce and fertilisers to world markets, noting that he is fully committed to achieving a resolution. The need to continue close cooperation between Russia and relevant UN agencies in the interests of ensuring global food security was confirmed.
🔹The situation around the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) was discussed, including the visit by the IAEA delegation on September 1. Vladimir Putin gave a positive assessment to the constructive cooperation with the agency and told the UN Secretary-General about the measures taken by Russia to ensure the security and physical protection of ZNPP facilities.
🔹Consideration was given to the question of organising a UN fact-finding mission in connection with a missile strike carried out by the armed forces of Ukraine on July 29 at the pre-trial detention centre in Yelenovka where Ukrainian POWs were held. Antonio Guterres assured Vladimir Putin that preparations are underway for a visit of UN experts to the site of the incident in order to conduct an independent and unbiased investigation.
🔹Other topics of discussion included the criminal activities of Ukrainian neo-Nazi units that are resorting to terrorist methods against opponents and critics of the Kiev regime. In this context, Vladimir Putin reminded the Secretary-General of the vicious, cowardly murder of Darya Dugina. Antonio Guterres condemned this crime for which, he emphasised, there can be no justification.
Russia-UNO work at various levels will continue as agreed.
