Ukraine's nuclear power provider accused Russia on Saturday of “kidnapping” the head of Europe's largest nuclear power plant- the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, a facility now occupied by Russian troops. Russian forces "kidnapped" the director-general Ihor Murashov, around 4 pm on Friday.
Energoatom said “His detention by (Russia) jeopardizes the safety of Ukraine and Europe's largest nuclear power plant,” said Energoatom President Petro Kotin said.
