MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Monday it remained interested in contact with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, but there were no plans for a meeting between its head Rafael Grossi and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said a report by Russia's foreign intelligence service that alleged, without providing evidence, that Ukraine was storing weapons at its nuclear power stations showed the importance of dialogue with the IAEA.
