Zakharova pointed out that the security threats to facilities including the Zaporizhia and Kursk nuclear power plants areIt is the actions of the Ukrainian armed forces and the complicity of the United States and other Western countries.

Zakharova believes thatUkraine has had several opportunities to resolve the crisis through negotiations, most recently in June after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a peace initiative.However, after the Ukrainian armed forces launched an attack on Kursk Oblast on August 6, the whole world saw Ukraine's response to Russia's goodwill gesture. Zakharova said,“As President Putin said,andThere is nothing to talk about people who do this kind of thing."

In June this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed at a meeting with the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Russia is always willing to negotiate with Ukraine on the Ukrainian issue. However, Putin said that the precondition for the negotiations is that the Ukrainian army withdraws completely from the four regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia. After the Ukrainian withdrawal, Russia will immediately cease fire, and then the two sides will start negotiations, including on Ukraine's non-joining NATO. But Putin added that Ukraine should make its own decision.
