Vladimir Putin decrees Russian takeover of Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant

A presidential decree signed in Moscow has designated the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine "federal property." But Ukrainian operators Energoatom called the move "worthless," as the IAEA head visited Kyiv.

The plant, on Russian-occupied territory and near the front, is still being operated by Ukrainian staff

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ordered his government to take control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Ukraine, Europe's largest nuclear power facility. 

However, the boss of Ukraine's state energy agency, Energoatom, also announced that he would be taking over the plant. 

Russia has occupied the territory around the nuclear plant, which is close to the frontlines of its invasion of Ukraine, since March this year. But Ukrainian technicians have continued to operate it.  The ZNPP's director on site, Ihor Murashev, was detained by Russian forces over the weekend. 

"The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is now on the territory of the Russian Federation and, accordingly, should be operated under the supervision of our relevant agencies," Russia's RIA news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin as saying. 

Putin later signed a decree designating the facility "federal property." 

Zaporizhzhia is one of the four regions where Moscow last month staged so-called referendums and later illegally annexed reporting broad majority support for joining the Russian Federation.

Zaporizhzhia was one of four partially occupied Ukrainian regions to vote in so-called referendums on joining Russia

Ukraine's Energoatom calls decree 'worthless'

Russian nuclear power operator Rosenergoatom said it would look into how to repair damage at the plant, which had been totally offline until Wednesday after shellfire in the vicinity. The Russian firm also said it would transfer all the existing employees to a new Russian-owned company. 

"The new operating organization is designed to ensure the safe operation of the nuclear power plant and the professional activities of the existing plant personnel," it said in a statement.

Ukraine's Energoatom, meanwhile, called the Russian company's establishment of a new company based in Moscow "worthless" and part of the "imaginary crazy world of the aggressor country." 

"It's just a pity that they are trying to involve Ukrainian nuclear professionals, who have been heroically working under ZNPP occupation for more than seven months," Energoatom wrote. "Experiencing this madness on their own every day, they continue to ensure nuclear and radiation safety in Europe." 

Energoatom's top official, Petro Kotin, said in a video message that he would take charge of "all future decisions regarding the operation of the station" from a central office. 

"We will continue to work under Ukrainian law, within the Ukrainian energy system, within Energoatom," he said.
