In Energodar, the Russian occupation troops forced about 3,000 employees of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to obtain so-called Russian passports.
In the morning summary of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it is also reported that, threatening entrepreneurs with fines and seizure of property, the Ukrainian hryvnia was withdrawn from circulation in the city. The number of residential premises seized by the invaders and abandoned by internally displaced persons has significantly increased.
At the end of 2022, the Russians were preparing the evacuation of Energodar residents to the temporarily occupied Crimea. The Center for National Resistance reported that they planned to take the civilians of the occupied city by bus to Dzhankoy. The evacuation was first announced as voluntary, but the Russians usually forcibly evict residents.
Since March 4, the Zaporizhzhya NPP and the satellite city of Zaporozhye NPP – Energodar – have been under the occupation of Russian troops. Russia refuses to create a demilitarized zone around the ZNPP, as proposed by the UN. The station was repeatedly shelled. On August 5, the first in the history of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, its complete disconnection from the network took place.
Massive Russian rocket fire on November 23 led to a temporary blackout of all nuclear power plants in Ukraine. This was reported by the Department of Energy. As a result, the vast majority of electricity consumers throughout the country were de-energized.
On November 25, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi announced that all four Ukrainian nuclear power plants again have access to the national power grid after a complete loss of external power supply.
