"NATO Allies do not, and will not, recognise any of this territory as part of Russia."

"The vehicle of the Director General of the [Zaporizh* plant] was stopped, he was taken out of the car, and with his eyes blindfolded he was driven in an unknown direction. For the time being there is no information on his fate," Energoatom's head, Petro Kotin, said in a statement.
I demand that the ruscists staying at the ZNPP and Rosatom's personnel, who also stay illegally at the nuclear facility of Ukraine, stop immediately the acts of nuclear terrorism towards the management and personnel of the ZNPP, release the plant's Director General and let him return to his responsibilities on maintaining safe operation of the Zaporizh* NPP.
I appeal to Director General of the IAEA Rafael Grossi and WANO Chairman Tom Mitchell to take all possible immediate actions to urgently free the Director General of the ZNPP from the ruscist captivity and to bring him back to perform his duties.
Say NO to nuclear terrorism of putin's russia!
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has asked for clarification, Reuters reported.
Kotin believes that Russia is planning to transfer the Zaporizh* power plant to Rosatom, the Guardian reported. "They are trying to make our personnel just to sign the accurate deals for the work at Rosatom," [Reuters] quoted him as saying.
The power plant was in ["]the spotlight["] earlier this month [ISZAM 1-3 Sep?] when it was taken off the electricity grid [10 Sep? 11 Sep?] in response to Russian [?] shelling. It is located in one of the areas [Zaporizh* oblast] that Russian President Vladimir Putin has moved to annex.
