“The IAEA secretariat does not notice daily Ukrainian attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, civilian infrastructure and the killing of Russian citizens”
DISPUTED
The claim that the IAEA ignores attacks is presented as an accusation by Russian sources (TASS, Rosatom). However, other evidence shows the IAEA has actively condemned 'reckless' drone attacks on the Zaporozhye plant, directly contradicting the assertion that they 'do not notice' or ignore such events.

“the IAEA secretariat... is limited exclusively to public statements about the threat of drones flying at a distance from the Ukrainian nuclear power plants”
DISPUTED
While one source repeats the claim that the IAEA limits itself to statements about drones, another source explicitly mentions the IAEA reporting a 'major increase in drone activity' as a safety concern, and other reports show the IAEA condemning 'reckless' attacks. The claim that they are 'limited exclusively' to distant drone threats is contradicted by the IAEA's broader safety reporting and condemnations of direct threats.
