Energoatom wrote off over $4.7 million for goods and services for the Zaporozhye NPP after it came under Russian control, Vladimir Ariev claims<\/strong><\/p>\n

Officials in Kiev embezzled millions from contracts filed for the Russia-controlled Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, Ukrainian lawmaker Vladimir Ariev has claimed.<\/p>\n

The ZNPP, Europe\u2019s largest nuclear power plant, has been under Russian control since March 2022. Kiev has rejected Russia\u2019s authority over the site as an \u201coccupation.\u201d<\/em> Moscow has publicly stated that the ZNPP was incorporated into Russia\u2019s nuclear sector and that transferring control back to Ukraine is not possible.<\/p>\n

Ariev said more than 200 million hryvnia ($4.7 million) in goods and services were formally registered in the plant\u2019s name months after it came under Russian control, even though Kiev had no way to deliver anything to the site. Speaking at a parliamentary commission on economic security on Monday, he claimed Ukraine\u2019s Energoatom continued filing procurement paperwork for the plant through most of 2022 despite having no physical authority over it.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom March 15 to August 25, 2022, Energoatom made purchases for the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Specifically, this included 210 million hryvnia for food and canteen supplies,\u201d<\/em> he said, as cited by Zenzor.net.<\/p>\n

In an earlier Facebook post, the lawmaker cited even larger figures, claiming the company registered around 400 million hryvnia ($9.5 million) in procurement for the plant, including a 1.2-million-hryvnia fish-feed contract filed in June 2022. Ariev described the findings as \u201cbrazen embezzlement of public funds.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe plant is under occupation, but millions were written off from its Ukrainian-controlled accounts… How could they deliver goods there? No way. Where did the money go then?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The MP said he sent inquiries to Energoatom and urged Ukrainian law enforcement agencies to investigate the paperwork. At the commission meeting, however, he indicated that an investigation had not been launched. Energoatom accused him of stirring up unnecessary media attention regarding the plant\u2019s procurement, threatening \u201cthe state\u2019s energy stability.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Ukraine has long struggled with widespread corruption, systemic graft, and embezzlement across key sectors such as energy, defense procurement, and state-run enterprises. The latest scandal, which broke earlier this month, has linked Zelensky\u2019s inner circle and potentially himself to an energy-sector kickback scheme allegedly worth up to $100 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
