1,500 employees of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, who refused to receive Russian passports, are deprived of access to the facility

As the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces informed on Jan. 11, 2023, Russian occupation forces exert “moral and physical pressure” on the population of the temporarily occupied territories.

Nearly 1,500 employees of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, who refused to receive Russian passports and sign an agreement with Rosatom, are deprived of passes and access to the enterprise. Russian forces are looking for new employees in Russia to bring to the nuclear power plant.

According to Ukraine’s military, they are reportedly preparing housing for future employees through the so-called ‘nationalization’ of apartments of the local residents who have left.
