Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that the aggressor country is not considering the option of joint management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant with the United States.

Details
The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the Kremlin is not going to return the ZNPP to Ukraine or allow another state to manage it.
The return of the station to the Russian nuclear industry is a long-standing fait accompli, which the international community can only recognize. The transfer of the ZNPP itself or control over it to Ukraine or any other country is impossible

Earlier it was reported that the Donald Trump administration is seeking new terms for US access to critical mineral resources and energy assets in Ukraine. This is happening against the background of negotiations on a peace agreement with Russia and Washington's expanded economic demands on Kyiv.
Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the US could be very helpful in managing Ukrainian nuclear power plants.
For his part, Zelenskyy confirmed that the head of the White House during a telephone conversation was interested in the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and the possible participation of Americans in its restoration.
