NEW YORK, UN. April 8 (Interfax) - Russia will raise the issue of the Ukrainian drone attack on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) at one of the upcoming sessions of the United Nations Security Council on Ukraine, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said on Monday.
"We will raise this issue at one of the upcoming meetings on Ukraine," Nebenzya said, responding to a journalist's question on whether Russia will call an emergency session on the NPP attack.
Nebenzya commented on the situation with the Zaporozhye NPP before the meeting of the council on considering Palestine's request to join the UN.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said Moscow expects "a public and exhaustively truthful reaction" to what has happened from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director general.
Russia intends to communicate to the international community "on a permanent basis" information on the responsibility of Kiev and the countries supporting it for creating safety threats to the Zaporozhye NPP, ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
"We will send letters, we will send relevant information through our mission to the IAEA and through our mission to the United Nations above all else, and also via other channels," Zakharova said on Rossiya-24 (VGTRK) television.
The communications department of the Rosatom state corporation earlier said there had been a series of Ukrainian drone attacks on the NPP, which directly jeopardized the plant's safety.
Rosatom called on the administration of the IAEA and the countries of the European Union to immediately react to the attempt to escalate the situation with one of the largest NPPs on the continent.
The IAEA later said the damage done to the plant as a result of the drone attack did not threaten nuclear safety.
A Ukrainian drone was downed over the Zaporozhye NPP earlier on Monday, its debris fell on the roof of Power Unit 6. This is the fourth attack on the plant's territory since the start of April.
