A source in the UN Security Council told Sputnik that Russia has requested a meeting of the UN Security Council on September 6 to discuss the situation around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

Earlier, Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Dmitry Polyansky said today that “Moscow expects the participation of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi and the UN Secretary General António Guterres, at the rally, that Russia called for a rally around the Zaporizhzhya NPP on September 6.

In light of the ongoing Ukrainian bombing of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the Kyiv regime’s reckless provocation today to disrupt a visit by IAEA inspectors to the plant, Russia has requested a UN Security Council meeting on September 6, he said. “We invite you to listen to Grossi’s report on his visit with his team to the station. We look forward to the participation of UN Secretary General António Guterres.”
