The Kremlin on Monday called on the international community to pressure Ukraine to reduce military tension at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, accusing Kyiv of putting the whole of Europe at danger ahead of a visit by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov also said Moscow was not talking about the possibility of a demilitarized zone at the plant.

Both Russia and Ukraine have denied shelling the Zaporizhzhia plant in recent weeks, while each accusing the other of doing so.
