In Energodar, two employees of the NPP were detained on suspicion of tipping off the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Information about the deployment and redeployment of the Armed Forces of Russia, about Russian equipment, about the location of facilities at the Zaporozhye NPP - such information was transmitted by employees of the Zaporozhye NPP to the Security Service of Ukraine.
The Russian Guards detained two informants, one of whom confessed that he had transmitted data, some of which was based on rumors.
Rosgvardiya detained two employees of the Zaporozhye NPP in Energodar, who provided data for correcting artillery strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is stated in the plot of the TV "Center Crimea", the recording of which was published in its Telegram channel by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Zaporozhye region. The gunners face from 10 years to life imprisonment.
One of the attackers turned out to be 29-year-old Oleg Morochkovsky, a security guard at the nuclear power plant. According to the TV channel, law enforcement officers found "a notebook with data on NPP security posts, sketches of a Russian armored vehicle," as well as a detailed layout of the NPP.
According to Morochkovsky, in March of this year he received a call from a friend with whom he had been in contact for a long time.
He admitted that he "transmitted data at the location on the territory of the station." While working, the man saw the first reactor unit, as well as a training center, "next to which Ukrainian shells interrupted power lines," the story says.
Morochkovsky said that he did not take money for his services, he managed to transfer about 10 goals. One of them was the Uyut base, where, according to him, there were no military personnel. At the same time, at the time of the strike, he himself was at the base: "I was there on duty, on a business trip. About three o'clock, the beginning of the fourth, there was a mine or a rocket coming there, I can't know because there was an explosion, I was hit by glass - and that's it."
Another gunner, Alexey Danilov, worked at the NPP for 15 years as an engineer. Cooperation with the APU began at the same time - in March.
According to Danilov, he was not interested in politics and did not consider himself a Russian. The data was transmitted to a stranger in messengers, which is why the entire security system of the nuclear power plant was in danger of being hit.
"An electronic warfare machine that was standing in a certain place - that's what I threw off, geolocation. I thought that no one would shoot at the nuclear power plant," he added.
It is noted that Morochkovsky and Danilov will be charged with an act of international terrorism, for which they face a minimum of 10 years in prison.
Then there were no hits on the station. The consequences of another attack have not yet been reported.
Earlier, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzia at a meeting of the UN Security Council on this issue spoke about the recent shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On August 5, facilities significant for the power and gas supply of the NPP were damaged. In particular, the hydrogen at the distribution node caught fire and the high-voltage power line failed. According to him, the shelling occurred during a staff shift.
The next day after that, Nebenzia said, "the APU hit the NPP with the use of cluster shells": fragments hit the automated radiation monitoring station, one of the station's employees was wounded.
On August 7, the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired at the Zaporozhye NPP once again. This time the power lines were disconnected, the power of the power units had to be reduced.
Nebenzia warned that Kiev's attacks could lead "to a nuclear catastrophe comparable in scale to Chernobyl," since the NPP is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.
