Russians killed 2, abused others at Ukraine power plant: report

Russian forces who took over Ukraine s massive nuclear power plant beat to death two staff members and abused several others, according to a report.

The Zaporizhzhia plant, which is the largest in Europe, was captured by Russian soldiers in March, and since then has been a flash point in the Ukrainian conflict. Experts fear that ongoing shelling in the area could trigger a nuclear disaster.

A regime of harassment of personnel was gradually established, following the Russian takeover, said Petro Kotin, the director of Ukraine s nuclear energy agency, in an interview with a French news agency Friday.

Two people were beaten to death, he added. We do not know where about 10 people are now. They were taken [by the Russians] and after that, we have no information about their whereabouts. Kotin said that 200 others had been detained.
