Earlier in the day, Grossi arrived at the ZNPP and inspected the site together with the plant's management and responsible technical staff.
"Rafael Grossi has made sure that there has never been, and that there are no plans to deploy any offensive weapons at the ZNPP," Karchaa told Russian media.
Meanwhile, Grossi himself said he seeks to work out a security agreement that would help keep the nuclear plant safe amid the ongoing hostilities in Ukraine.
"The idea is to agree on certain principles, certain commitments, including not to attack the plant," he told media.
The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant has been repeatedly shelled by Ukrainian troops after the facility ended up under Russia’s control.
