The human rights organization Amnesty International condemned the Russian army for turning the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant into a military base. They emphasized that they received numerous testimonies from the occupied Enerhodar about how the militarization of the city negatively affects the population.

The press service of AI writes about it.

"The imminent danger posed by the militarization of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is and should be the key issue for the Security Council. It would appear that this militarization is part of a broader strategy by Russian forces to threaten civilians and put millions of people at great risk. We should also keep our attention on Russia’s abominable conduct and the fact that during its six months of aggression against Ukraine, its forces have endangered and killed many civilians," said the secretary general of the organization Agniesz Callamard.

The organization calls on the UN Security Council to immediately pay attention to the situation at the ZNPP and bring the perpetrators to justice for a wide range of crimes committed by Russia on the territory of Ukraine.
