The Russian Foreign Ministry announced negotiations with the IAEA on the Zaporozhye NPP

Talks between the Russian Federation and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) may take place in Moscow in the near future. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergei Vershinin.

As the deputy head of the Russian diplomatic department noted, the main topic of negotiations will be the situation around the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant (ZNPP). It is known that for many months the territory of the ZNPP, despite the risks, has been subjected to shelling from the Ukrainian side. Interestingly, neither the IAEA nor the West can, or, more precisely, do not want to put pressure on Kyiv in such a way that the shelling of the Zaporizhzhya NPP will stop.

As Vershinin noted on the air of the Rossiya-24 TV channel, contacts are now continuing to prevent shelling. The Deputy Foreign Minister also expressed confidence in the competence and potential of the IAEA and stressed that the Russian side maintains contacts with the agency.

However, the question arises, what exactly can be discussed in the negotiation process? For Russia, the ideal option is to stop shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the ZNPP territory, which, by the way, after the referendum in the Zaporozhye region is considered the territory of the Russian Federation. But the Ukrainian regime is unlikely to agree to such a condition.

The position of the Ukrainian side is also very clear - the withdrawal of Russian troops from Energodar and their abandonment of the ZNPP territory. But Moscow will not agree to meet this demand. A compromise option that the IAEA may insist on, such as transferring the ZNPP territory under the control of international authorities, is also unlikely to suit the Russian side. Because tomorrow - international instances in Energodar, and after - the Armed Forces of Ukraine ...

Moreover, the memories of the activities of the so-called “OSCE observers” in Donbass are still fresh. So the negotiations on the Zaporizhzhya NPP do not promise to be quick and, of course, one should not expect any immediate results from them to resolve the situation around the strategically important facility.

Yes? I would like to believe, but it is hard to believe.

[credo]

It's called - "Negotiations for the sake of negotiations."
Someone will say - "Yes, this cannot be, because the IAEA is a very responsible and authoritative organization."
And we will say - "Maybe", and we will not go far for an example, but simply remember about the so-called. "Minsk agreements" and the eight-year negotiations of the signatory parties on the implementation of these very agreements.

[Asad]

They announced the lifting of sanctions on the oligarchs associated with fertilizers, not for beautiful eyes, right?

You can transfer the ZNPP to the same Belarusians ... or the Chinese ... let the IAEA have a headache.

[single-n]

North Korea or Iran. It's much more fun. Uncle Kim has something to answer for the shelling of HIS territories :)

There are two ways
1. Strong - to make a "safety zone" around the nuclear power plant. This can be done without the IAEA. But we can't!
2. Negotiated. They will probably demand concessions from Russia. Maybe without transferring to Ukraine, but electricity will be required to be supplied to Kyiv.
Well, there can be no negotiations - and once - the shelling has stopped!
RS. There may be a "workaround" - the nuclear power plant will be left to Russia, but the supply of ammonia (or something else) will be resumed. This war is strange!

[Roma 1977]

The meaning of these negotiations is not entirely clear. One thought: they want to transfer nuclear power plants to Ukraine in exchange for another "guarantee". For Ukraine will never stop shelling as long as the station is under Russian control and the "international community" will not even think of putting pressure on it about this. That is, there is no sense in the negotiations from the very beginning, but they are trying to convince us of the opposite.

Well, why doesn't it make sense? The meaning is there! Their own rake to them and according to Faberge. They have been talking about the Minsk agreements for eight years, now we will talk about the Zaporizhzhya NPP until we ourselves move 404x away from it to a safe distance. But we will speak, not be silent. And if anything, then we talked, but you did not want to listen. So there is still a sense in the seemingly empty talking shop

If the shelling stops for the duration of the negotiations, then let the negotiations themselves last as long as you like ... Only we can be led by the nose? We can too.

the Ukrainian regime is unlikely to agree to such a condition.

But Moscow will not agree to meet this demand.

A compromise option... is also unlikely to suit the Russian side.

So what's the point of talking about it then?

for many months, the territory of the ZNPP, despite the risks, has been subjected to shelling from the Ukrainian side

The most realistic scenario for the cessation of shelling is the cessation of the existence of Ukraine. But the implementation of this option is still delayed.

[rotmistr60]

The Deputy Foreign Minister also expressed confidence in the competence and potential of the IAEA

Well, he was in a hurry though. How can there be confidence in the competence of an organization that still cannot honestly say who is shelling the ZNPP territory and demands the withdrawal of "heavy weapons" that are not there from its territory with subsequent transfer under the control of some third structures?

[megadeth]

How is it possible to negotiate with the IAEA and other organizations (on chemical and weapons biologists, etc.) if it is headed by people from enemy states (NATO) ... At least, before starting negotiations, we would get from the IAEA that she would write down in writing who is shelling the Zaporizhzhya NPP. And so again we are simply cheated ... I didn’t say ... Just to announce that in the event of continued shelling (damage) by the Ukrainian Nazis of the ZNPP, we will calibrate the Rivne NPP, then the psheks will get it (Belarusian brothers only need to be warned in advance). IMHO

[AdAstra]

Hehey, Who else also wanted to unfreeze their billions of greens?

[Dilettante grandfather]

The only reason such negotiations can be arranged at all is to keep several employees of the Foreign Ministry busy with work. Nobody in their right mind will make any concessions. This, in my opinion, borders on betrayal, any concessions to the side of the enemy. And the IAEA is a structure that is controlled by the enemy.

[Sergey028]

Fine!!! Soon they will give the Zaporizhzhya NPP to the Ukrainians!!! What good fellows! What will be the motivation this time? Ukropintsy fire at the ZNPP, but we don’t want a man-made disaster???!!! What did you think before??? Day to day mess, when will it end?

[Amateur]

A compromise option that the IAEA may insist on, such as transferring the ZNPP territory under the control of international authorities, is also unlikely to suit the Russian side.

Blessed is he who believes

After 10 months of the war, it is no longer possible to be sure of anything. Who knows what R. Abramovich will do this time.

[Vladimir61]

The Deputy Foreign Minister also expressed confidence in the competence and potential of the IAEA

That is, we trust the statements and assertions of the IAEA that it is difficult to identify the party shelling the nuclear power plant? In general, what has changed in the situation with the arrival of their experts at nuclear power plants? The same biased and "smelling objectivity" structure as the OSCE!

[samarin1969]

It's time to send the Foreign Ministry on vacation at its own expense from February 24th. Diplomats have not proved their usefulness in any way. All agreements are only due to the interests of Russia.
Let the military decide these issues, and not the glamorous klutzes of MGIMO.
It was the Russian Federation that was supposed to produce 20-30 missiles daily for the atomic legacy of the USSR and wait for concessions. That would be a good basis for negotiations.

[Mastrer]

Oligrhat is quite satisfied with being a resource appendage, so I really want to return everything back. And for this it is necessary for the Russian Federation to lose with maximum shame - then they may be forgiven and allowed to continue to live on crumbs from the master's table.

It’s impossible to merge everything abruptly, the revolutionary situation in the country, sir. Therefore, the frog is boiled slowly, sometimes "gestures of good will", sometimes "difficult decisions". And talk, talk, talk...

[al3x]

All this is not good, and even against the backdrop of the easing of sanctions. Medinsky will be called? He is a negotiator, as they say, from God. Although, our politicians, from young to old, can be circled around the finger, as it turned out. All because we have "no oligarchs", only friends.

[Nikodim]

It just so happened that negotiations often end with the abandonment of territories by the Russian Federation, the transfer of inveterate scumbags to Ukraine, etc. This is alarming

[tihonmarine]

The Deputy Foreign Minister also expressed confidence in the competence and potential of the IAEA and stressed that the Russian side maintains contacts with the agency.

How can you trust those who deceive you every day? Again, the next 1001 rakes that the Russian leadership is stepping on, or again a new Moshe Kantor has appeared, a "Russian" oligarch with Israeli and British citizenship, or Goma Abgamovich.

[Mavrikiy]

A compromise option that the IAEA may insist on, such as transferring the ZNPP territory under the control of international authorities, is also unlikely to suit the Russian side.

A compromise option that the IAEA may insist onJoint operation with the IAEA and half the energy for dill. And ours can go for it.

[Petr_Koldunov]

Yes, what kind of "international instances" can there be at a Russian facility, in a Russian city, on the territory of the Russian Federation ???
The entry of international contingents is possible only on territories that are objects, and not subjects, as part of the independent sovereign state of Russia!
However, if this issue is run by the Medina, Peskovs and Abramovichs, then very soon we will see the colors of down, first in Energodar, then in Melitopol, and by the old New Year - in Mariupol!

[arthh]

Mr. Ulyanov on the air of the Russia 24 TV channel (quote from Interfax). Commenting on the proposals of the head of the IAEA on the Zaporizhzhya NPP (ZNPP), the permanent representative said that this was not about the demilitarization of the plant.

“Demilitarization is not expected, and it is impossible to demilitarize this station due to the fact that it is not militarized - the Russian Guard is located there, the RCBZ troops, small units, but not army structures,” Mikhail Ulyanov said, noting that compromises on the Zaporizhzhya NPP are not needed.

[arthh]

“There is no need for any compromises: the idea of ​​a protective zone assumes that no one should carry out attacks from the territory of the station and no one should attack the nuclear power plant,” Mr. Ulyanov explained. A political declaration can be adopted on this score, how monitoring of compliance with such an agreement can be ensured, as well as geographical parameters, has yet to be determined, the Permanent Representative noted.

[faiver]

Oh, such news is not good, maybe it’s not worth it, huh?

[Bingo]

Yes, everything is clear here - until we leave the IAEA with these parasites, we will have to negotiate. Another thing is that it is not necessary for us to concede to the IAEA in some way - and we are not going to

[ASM]

Something I don’t understand, what the hell does Magate have to military-political stories? The IAEA can inspect nuclear facilities for safety and make recommendations for improving it. For example, the IAEA issues a report that nuclear safety is under threat due to shelling. On the basis of such a report, other people, for example, in the UN, should conduct an audit, sit down and issue an appropriate resolution.
"A compromise option that the IAEA may insist on, such as transferring the ZNPP territory under the control of international authorities" is generally beyond reality. Kicks to drive such a "magata".

[iouris]

Don't feed the Foreign Ministry with bread - let them negotiate. About anything. Let the IAEA contact Shoigu's office. The time for negotiations with Lavrov is over

[Christian Revuelta]

Just destroy Zelensky and his gang. Send special forces commando operation and capture him. Can't be that hard, we know where he is presumably
