Russia does not seek to divide Ukraine into parts, but only seeks guarantees for its own security. The statement came from Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Russian president, in an interview with Sky News Arabia, Gazeta reports.

According to him, the units of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, were not damaged, and the plant continues to operate as usual.

The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was not hit or damaged, and what happened around it was a provocation by Ukrainian nationalists and extremists who attacked the Russian Armed Forces, the Kremlin spokesman added.

Peskov also stressed that Russia is waiting for the third round of talks with Ukraine, and hopes that Kyiv will listen to Moscow's demands.
