IAEA is sympathetic to Russia - Ukrainian Armed Forces Colonel

He expressed this opinion on the air of the Verdict with Serhii Rudenko program on Espreso TV. 

"To solve the safety problem at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant with the help of the most influential world organization, the IAEA, which takes care of the issue of control over the peaceful atom. I have doubts about the successful scope of this problem, because the IAEA takes a strange position, being sympathetic to the Russian Federation, a country that is trying to dictate the conditions: in what format, as well as with what forces and means should international experts work at the nuclear plant", Seleznyov noted.

According to the colonel, to have a strong negotiating position with Putin's Russia, Ukrainians must be strong and effective on the battlefield.

"It is necessary to inflict painful, striking, and sensitive blows on the invading Russian forces", Seleznyov emphasized.
