Energoatom stated that Russian occupying forces are lying and manipulating information regarding the state of affairs at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) visit.

Russian occupiers are preventing the IAEA from assessing the real state of affairs and spreading false information about the visit.

The majority of global media allowed to visit the ZNPP were Russian propagandists, while Ukrainian and foreign journalists were denied access.

Russians blamed attacks on Ukrainian Armed Forces and blocked mobile/internet communications in Enerhodar to prevent locals from sharing evidence.

IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi stated that two mission representatives would stay at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

The remaining representatives are described as 'very experienced' and will provide detailed information until the situation stabilizes.

Mayor Ivan Fedorov stated that Ukrainian forces hit two Russian locations simultaneously, with precise strikes causing a prolonged detonation of ammunition.

Two persons demanded money from citizens for quick consideration of applications to depart to temporarily uncontrolled territory, with costs ranging from 500 to 1,500 USD per person.

Intermediaries were detained at a filtration center in Zaporizhzhia, and over $13,000 and 50,000 UAH were seized.

Searches revealed 69,900 USD, 7,650 EUR, and 50,000 UAH, along with draft records listing persons and payments.
