Around 50 workers at the nuclear power plant, which has been under the occupation of Russian military forces since March, “remain captives” of the Russians, the head of the plant’s Ukrainian management company said.
About 50 workers at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, which has been under the occupation of Russian military forces since March, “remain captive” of the Russians, the head of Ukraine’s Energoatom, the plant’s operator, said.
“More than 150 workers at the station had been captured” since the start of the Russian offensive in late February. “Some of them were released, but there are also some whose fate we know nothing about,” said Petro Kotin. “About 50 people remain captive,” he said.
The director of Energoatom gave some information about the detention of the former general manager of the nuclear plant Igor Murasov, who was captured by the Russians at the end of October and released a few days later.
“He was kept in a basement for three days … Isn’t it torture to have to sit in a chair all day with a bag on your head?” asked Petro Kotin, adding that the Russians “recorded videos of Mr. Murasov for propaganda purposes’, without giving any other information about their content or transmission.
Regarding the abduction of two workers by Russian forces at the beginning of the week, Zaporizhia NPP IT director Oleg Kostyukov and deputy general manager Oleg Ocheka, Petro Kotin said he did not know their whereabouts.
