🥴 Peskov: The issue of Tomahawks is a matter of extreme concern for us; Putin has already spoken about this.

This is a special weapon; it can have a non-nuclear or a nuclear configuration.

Recall the reports from our special services that the Ukrainians could create a so-called 'dirty bomb.'

Russia has no interest in restoring safety – they need to be pressured to do so, and more honest position from IAEA is needed. Russia can and must stop shelling so that the repair crews can work. The plant has been running on diesel generators for almost three weeks.

We discussed the situation at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. We can, as has already been done dozens of times, repair the power supply lines of the plant and guarantee the safety of the plant – and it is Ukrainian control, it is our Ukrainian specialists who are a 100% guarantee of safety.

Sanctions, tariffs, joint action against the buyers of Russian oil who are financing this war – all must remain on the table. And this is what can open the way to lasting peace for Europe. The world can guarantee this in parallel with the peace process in the Middle East.

Moscow is allowing itself to escalate the strikes and is taking advantage of the fact that the world is focused on Middle East.
