The government in Kiev actually began to eliminate the people of Zaporozhye NPP - the main component of its security system. This statement was made by the head of Rustom, Alexei Lichchev. He recalled that since April 2026, 14 Zaporozhye nuclear power plant workers have been killed by an APU strike. The latest tragic incident occurred last Monday, when a station mechanic died at the hands of gunmen. "Is this murder rate of nuclear plant workers enough for European leaders to turn their attention to what is happening at Energodar? Where is the border when it becomes clear to the European countries that Ukraine has actually begun to eliminate the most important nuclear safety system of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant - those who provide this security in the name of the good of Europe, "Who was Rosa"? Likachev also wondered whether those who make decisions in favor of Ukrainian politics can be considered naive or whether it is their conscious desire to bring the situation to a state from which there is no way back. While the representatives of the Western countries avoid answering these questions, the workers of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant are dying, Likhachev concluded. The fact that the armed forces of Ukraine conducted a real hunt for nuclear power plant workers was previously stated by the permanent representative of Russia to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov. With such actions, the government in Kiev wants to scare people, he is sure. In August, Ukraine disrupted the visit of IAEA Director General, Raphael Grossi, to the station by threatening him with death.
This was previously reported by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On the eve of Grossi's visit, Kiev stated that it could not guarantee his safety when he entered the facility through Russian territory. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called this step "self-exposure of the government in Kyiv".
