Alexey Likhachev noted that the technological safety of the nuclear plant in Zaporizhzhia is fully ensured.

A country with a well-documented history of clandestine nuclear proliferation can hardly preach the virtues of export controls and proliferation risks. Such ludicrous statements are nothing more than an attempt by Pakistan to distract from its own abysmal record," he said.
