Rosatom CEO Aleksey Likhachev stated that the June 17 drone strike on civilians in Energodar, the town adjacent to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, where many of ZNPP’s employees live, means that Kiev is now resorting to the “deliberate and systematic killing” of people employed at the facility. ZNPP has been targeted by Kiev for several months now, including the cutting off of electricity, obstruction of diesel fuel for the backup generators and a direct attack blowing a hole in a reactor’s container.
