Details: Since the start of the occupation of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, Russian forces have exerted unprecedented pressure on nuclear workers who refuse to collaborate with the enemy and sign worthless contracts with Rosatom.
About 5,000 specialists managed to leave the temporarily occupied Energodar, and Energoatom is working to employ them in other divisions. However, at least 13 employees of the Zaporozhye NPP are known to have been detained.
Seven of them have been "sentenced" to imprisonment, three are still in jails awaiting fake verdicts, and the fate of three others remains unknown.
Additionally, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia tortured to death the diver Andriy Honcharuk from the ZNPP.
The invaders continue to use the Zaporozhye NPP as a military base. Military vehicles are stationed in the machine halls, and explosive weapons are stored there. The station's equipment is degrading increasingly, and there can be no talk of a safe scenario for restarting the ZNPP, the company emphasizes.
Direct quote from Energoatom: "All unlawfully detained nuclear workers must be immediately released from Russian captivity.
The Zaporozhye nuclear power plant must be returned under the control of its legal operator – Energoatom, and Russia must withdraw its military and equipment from the station. This is the only way to restore nuclear and radiation safety across the continent!".
