Last week, Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev, in a phone conversation with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) cheif Rafael Grossi, drew attention to the deteriorating security situation at the Zaporozhye and Kursk nuclear power plants due to the reckless actions of the Ukrainian side.
The Zaporozhye and Kursk nuclear power plants are targets of criminal terrorist acts of Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik on Friday.

"The Zaporozhye and Kursk power plants are objects of criminal terrorist acts of the Kiev regime," Zakharova said, adding that Kiev, like the Islamic State terrorist group*, "has in its arsenal extensive schemes of terrorist activity — from blowing up civilian infrastructure and killing civilians to nuclear terrorism."
