The news ticker for the negotiations.

MOSCOW - Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu currently sees no reason to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Shoigu said so in his speech at an international security conference in Moscow.

The Russian defense minister also stressed that the deployment of Ukrainian troops would be planned by the United States and Great Britain.

NATO has increased the number of its soldiers in Eastern and Central Europe many times over.

Shoigu also spoke to UN Secretary-General António Guterres about the armed conflict surrounding the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.

The Russian Defense Ministry said in Moscow on Monday that Shoigu had spoken to Guterres "about the conditions for the safe operation of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant."

Negotiations about the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant: the Russian army has been occupying the plant since March

The Russian army has occupied the nuclear power plant in south-eastern Ukraine since March, shortly after the start of the Ukraine war, and it has been repeatedly shelled since the end of July.

Kyiv and Moscow blame each other for the attacks.

Rocket fire raises fears of a catastrophe at Europe's largest nuclear power plant.

The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on Thursday.

The Ukrainian government and its western allies are demanding a demilitarized zone around the nuclear power plant and a withdrawal of Russian troops.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Shoigu and Guterres also spoke Monday about the explosions at the Olenivka detention center in eastern Ukraine, which is occupied by pro-Russian separatists.

There were several explosions in the prison at the end of July, killing dozens of Ukrainian inmates.

In this case, too, Ukraine and Russia blamed each other for the incident.
