The occupiers continue to put pressure on the staff of the ZNPP, forcing people to sign an agreement with Rosatom – IAEA

The Director General of the IAEA emphasized that the occupiers are exerting «unacceptable pressure» on the Ukrainian staff of the Zaporizhzhia NPP.

Director General of the IAEA, Raphael Grossi, said that the Russian invaders, who temporarily control the Zaporizhzhia NPP, continue to put pressure on the station’s personnel. The occupiers are forcing people to sign a labor contract with the Russian Rosatom.

This was reported by the IAEA press service.

According to him, Ukrainian nuclear workers face «unacceptable pressure» due to demands to sign a new labor contract with the Russian state company Rosatom in order to keep their jobs, while the national Ukrainian operator Energoatom is urging them not to do so and instead to follow it instructions

«I made it clear that staff should be able to perform their vital tasks without undue interference or pressure,» Grossi said.

The occupiers seized the ZNPP in early March, and Putin’s army began shelling the station itself in early August. For the first time in history, on August 25, a complete disconnection from the power grid occurred at the ZNPP.

In early October, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Zaporizhia NPP to be taken into federal ownership. According to the text of the «decree», the supervision and use of atomic energy of the ZNPP is defined until January 1, 2028.

On October 13, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Raphael Grossi, met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, and discussed the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Later, in a conversation with journalists, Raphael Grossi said that during his trip to the Russian Federation, he raised with the Russian side the issue of the detention of the Ukrainian personnel of the ZNPP, calling such actions unacceptable.
