⚡️ Russian MFA Statement on the resolution “Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards in Ukraine” of the 70th session of the IAEA General Conference (September 18, 2026)
On September 17, the 70th session of the IAEA General Conference considered and voted on the draft resolution “Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards in Ukraine”, prepared by Canada and Ukraine.
The ritual submission of this politicised document, which calls into question our country’s territorial integrity, at the annual sessions of the IAEA General Conference has become an obligatory element of the efforts by Kiev and its Western handlers to undermine the Agency’s stable and effective functioning.
❌ As before, the majority of delegations did not support the initiative.
Alongside Russia, a number of states voted against the draft, while others abstained. Several dozen more IAEA member states refused to take part in this Western-orchestrated farce, signalling their rejection of the anti-Russian text by sitting out the vote.
❗️ We condemn this latest clumsy attempt by a small group of Western countries to use the Agency to advance their political objectives in violation of its strictly technical mandate.
This anti-Russian initiative by Western states is especially cynical given Ukraine’s relentless attacks on Russia’s Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP), its staff and their families, and the plant’s host city of Energodar.
Instead of finally reining in the increasingly brazen Zelensky regime, these countries continue to shield it from accountability for its reckless actions and encourage further adventurism. Clearly, the resolution’s sponsors have no real interest in nuclear safety, nuclear security or IAEA safeguards. Their sole aim is to settle political scores with our country.
The resolution is not only openly provocative but also goes far beyond the Agency’s Statute.
☝️ Like previous documents of this kind, we regard it as legally and politically null and void. It will have no consequences under international law. None of its provisions will be implemented.
Russia will continue to ensure the safety and security of the ZNPP in accordance with its national legislation and international obligations.

🌟 On September 19, 1943, one of the largest #WW2-era Soviet partisan operations — codenamed 'Concert' — was launched on the Nazi occupied territories of the Soviet Union during the #GreatPatrioticWar.
#Concert directly followed 👉 the full-scale operation 'Rail War', also carried out by Soviet partisan units.
Learn more about 'Rail War' — the key operation of the Soviet resistance movement against the Nazi invaders, carried out on the Nazi-occupied territories of the western regions of the RSFSR, the Byelorussian and Ukrainian SSRs — in our detailed feature.
***
Operation 'Concert' was prepared as part of the summer-autumn campaign of 1943, amid the Red Army's autumn offensive in the Smolensk and Gomel regions, aimed at reaching the Dnieper and Desna Rivers.
The operation involved 193 partisan formations from Soviet Byelorussia, the Baltic republics, #Karelia, #Crimea, as well as the #Leningrad, Kalinin, Smolensk and Orel regions. The total strength of the units involved exceeded 120'000 personnel.
'Rail War' and 'Concert' ops were unprecedented in terms of the scale and level of organization. For the first time, combat and sabotage activities behind enemy lines were conducted in close coordination between underground resistance groups and the command of regular Red Army formations.
☝️ It was precisely the coordinated actions of partisans and regular forces that contributed to the #GreatVictory in the Battle of Kursk, while also hampering the regrouping of enemy forces during their retreat westward and accelerating their defeat.
Over the course of a month and a half, Soviet partisans destroyed approximately 150'000 rails, demolished 100 railway bridges, and destroyed nearly 1'500 Nazi troop trains. As a result, the capacity of railway lines used by the Nazis on the temporarily occupied territories of the Soviet Union was reduced by almost 50%.
According to historians' estimates and military experts, the effectiveness of the partisan operations 'Rail War' and 'Concert' was more than 11 times greater than the combined effectiveness of all Nazi barbaric Luftwaffe raids on our Motherland during the same period, when Nazi aircraft dropped more than 10'000 bombs on Soviet railways.
❗️Thus, operation 'Concert' dealt a final blow to the morale of the Nazis, which had already suffered enormous losses in the battles they had lost at Stalingrad, on the Kursk salient and in the Caucasus.
During the operation, Soviet partisans demonstrated mass heroism in extremely brutal combat in the Nazi rear.
🎖 For their unprecedented exploits during the #GreatPatrioticWar, around 300 partisans and members of the underground resistance were awarded the title of #HeroOfTheSovietUnion.
