Energodar residents are evacuating from the town en masse, and ZNNP workers are leaving their positions – intelligence
This is how the locals react to the threat of losing control over the nuclear plant
What happened? Ukrainian intelligence has noted a growing tendency of evacuation of local residents from Energodar, where the Zaporizhzhia Plant is located, as well as a large number of applications for dismissal from the station's employees.

Details. A corresponding tendency has been observed during the last weeks and especially the last days, after constant shelling of the ZNPP site by the occupiers. Local residents are increasingly trying to leave the temporarily occupied town and enter the territory controlled by Ukraine.
The Chief Directorate of Intelligence assumes that Ukrainian employees of the nuclear station know more about the real situation at the ZNPP and share this information with the townspeople, which provoked the mass evacuation.
“Energodar locals say amongst themselves that it would be possible to tolerate a monkey with a grenade, but it is impossible to predict a monkey with a “nuclear toy”. Therefore, we should expect a further increase in the number of refugees from this town, including ZNPP specialists,” the statement of the intelligence reads.
The directorate emphasised that the crisis centre of the Zaporizhzhia station remains an “informational obscurity zone” as the occupiers have not yet allowed experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to enter the premises. Intelligence assures that the russians “have something and someone to hide there.”
Previously. Power unit No. 6 was shut down due to shelling at the ZNPP. Since then, the station has been left without a connection to the energy system of Ukraine.
