Situation on the ZPP: Does employees be responsible for collaboration with the Russians
"In the Geneva Convention, atomic objects are separately written out, so the work of employees under occupation will not be considered collaborationism," Vereshchuk commented. Vereshchuk also noted that in the case of NPP NPPs, Russian military, who are held at the station of Ukrainians, are responsible. "Civilians at these objects are protected by conventions.
That is, international law prohibits the seizure of nuclear stations, and accordingly all actions of the occupier are illegal," the head of the profile ministry reminded. On Monday, August 5, the Parliament registered the law of authorship of the people's deputies, headed by the "servant of the people" by Galina Tretyakova regarding the responsibility of employees of strategic enterprises, who continue to perform their work in the conditions of Russian occupation. It is a project of Law No.
7731 "On Amendments to Article 41 of the Labor Code of Ukraine on establishing an additional ground for termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employer". He proposes to determine at the legislative level additional grounds for termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employer. This is the basis of committing an employee who works on state-owned objects of strategic importance for the economy and security of the state and/or objects Aggressor.
Thus, if the law is supported by MPs and then signed by the President of Ukraine, employees of the ZPP, who now continue to serve the nuclear power plant occupied by the Russians, may lose their work. As of September 6, the Russian military continues to control the situation at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. This was stated by President of Energoatom Petro Kotin.
"The creation of a permanent MAEA representation at the Zaporozhye NPP was a good step, but the root of the problem remains, as Russian troops continue to control the station," Kotin said. He called the situation at the NPP "very dangerous" and unprecedented due to damage to power lines that connect the object to the Ukrainian energy system. He also said that Kyiv expects to hear more than IAEA concern.
Kotin also emphasized that a very complex and dangerous winter is waiting for Ukraine, since the ZPP, which provided more than a fifth of the country's needs for electricity, is under the control of the occupiers. Therefore, it is so important in Ukraine to renew its control over a nuclear power plant. We will remind, Irina Vereshchuk told that she is waiting for Ukrainians for participation in the "referendums" of the Russian Federation.
