State enterprise "Energoatom" considers Putinʼs "decree" on the transfer of the Zaporizhzhya NPP seized by Russian troops to Russian control, as well as other "documents" issued in Russia regarding the plant, to be null, absurd and inadequate.
This is stated in the statement of the SE.
Energoatom recalled Volodymyr Zelenskyʼs decree "about the nullity of acts that violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine" and stated that Putinʼs orders "do not have any legal consequences."
"The Zaporizhzhia NPP will continue to operate in Ukraine, in accordance with Ukrainian legislation, in the Ukrainian energy system," Energoatom said.
Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Presidentʼs Office, is convinced that sanctions should be imposed on Rosatom and the nuclear industry of the Russian Federation.
- On October 5, Putin signed "decrees" on the annexation of four Ukrainian regions: Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, as well as on the transfer of ZNPP to Russian control.
- The day before, Volodymyr Zelensky declared null and void Putinʼs decrees on recognizing Crimea and four occupied regions of Ukraine as "independent".
