Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant Director Yury Chernichuk stated that Ukrainian authorities are pressuring plant staff after failing to force them to leave the facility.

Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) Director Yury Chernichuk reported that the Kiev regime has begun targeting plant employees. This follows a failed attempt to force staff to abandon their positions and leave the city of Energodar. Chernichuk stated that these actions are intended to create unbearable living and working conditions for the personnel.

Allegations of Psychological Pressure

Chernichuk noted that for over six months, the plant has observed efforts to exert psychological pressure on both staff and local residents. He suggested that the initial goal may have been to compel essential workers to resign and vacate the city within a short timeframe.

International Response

Russian Permanent Representative to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, described the situation as critical, citing threats against employees and their families. Alexey Likhachev, CEO of the Russian state corporation Rosatom, announced that Russia intends to raise the issue of these attacks at the upcoming International Atomic Energy Agency conference in Vienna.
