KYIV, Feb 12 - Russia, by staging provocations and blackmailing with a complete blocking of the IAEA mission, is trying to force the organization to violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and send international experts to Zaporizhia NPP through the temporarily occupied territories, said spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine Heorhiy Tykhy in a commentary on Russia's latest disruption of the IAEA rotation at Zaporizhia NPP.

"Today, February 12, Russia once again deliberately disrupted the rotation of IAEA experts at Zaporizhia NPP. The Kremlin is acting according to the usual scheme of blackmail, threats and provocations. This time, the occupiers used armed attack aircraft with white flags, stationed in the zone where the line between the territories controlled by Ukraine and the temporarily occupied zone, to disrupt the rotation. This is where the IAEA representatives were supposed to transfer," the Foreign Ministry said.
