❓ How do you assess the #IAEA report on the situation at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant presented by Rafael Grossi? What is constructive about it and what raises concerns?
💬 Both Russian envoys – Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya (when the issue was discussed in the UN Security Council) and Permanent Representative to the international organisations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov – have already commented on this report. All our approaches have been outlined.
❓Will the report be published?
💬 We need to get additional clarification, because there are a number of questions about the report. I will not list them now. I requested these explanations from IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.

🇷🇺🇩🇪📞 President of Russia Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Olaf Scholz.
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.
The President confirmed that Russia is ready to deliver large quantities of grain to external markets and to provide countries in need with the fertiliser blocked in European ports at no charge.
