According to the report, they are the deputy director of the nuclear power plant occupied by the Russian army, Eduard Atakishev, and his subordinate, chief engineer Andriy Horbunov. Based on the results of the investigation, the two men – before the occupying authorities appointed them to their posts – worked at the Rostov nuclear power plant, from there they came to the temporarily occupied territory of southern Ukraine, and in October 2022 joined the management team of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant. Their task was to integrate the energy facility into the Russian company Rosatom and connect the nuclear power plant to Russia’s energy system. The suspects also threatened Ukrainian nuclear specialists to cooperate with the Russians and sign a contract with the Russian administration of the nuclear power plant, SZBU wrote.
