Ukraine says nuke plant employees being tortured by Russian captors
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUkrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko says employees of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant are being tortured by Russian soldiers who took over the facility.
He says the employees have been held for four days and claims they were forced to film a video for Russian propaganda. It’s unclear if he is in touch with the employees.
He says 500 Russian soldiers and dozens of armored pieces are at the facility.
“A breakdown at a nuclear power plant due to the use of weapons by Russian troops will lead to a disaster for the whole of Europe,” Halushchenko warns.
