Public and Political Behavior

This rating reflects the political implications of the nuclear plant operating under the control of a sanctioned Russian entity. The imposition of sanctions by the U.S. signals that the plant is now a tool of an authoritarian regime, contributing to destabilization and security risks. Such control underscores complicity with oppressive regimes and undermines Ukrainian sovereignty.

The sanction also specifically targets CEO Vladislav Isaev, emphasizing his role in the political management of the facility under an authoritarian regime. This executive involvement further cements the connection between the plant’s operations and the fascist tendencies of the occupying power, thereby detracting from democratic accountability and transparency.

June 6
The ILO Brief details forced labour and coercion at the nuclear power plant, a serious violation of labor rights under duress by occupying forces. This deliberate undermining of worker autonomy and safety is clearly anti-worker and authoritarian in nature.
- MAR102023
A presidential decree by President Putin mandates the creation of a new operating organisation to assume control over the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant following the region's annexation by Russia. This move, which transfers operational control and restructures the plant under federal oversight, has been widely condemned by Ukraine as an illegal act that compromises nuclear security and undermines democratic governance.

Public and Political Behavior
June 6
The event illustrates an authoritarian takeover of a critical infrastructure asset via a presidential decree, representing a clear instance of state-imposed control that subverts democratic norms and enhances the influence of an authoritarian regime. This politicized restructuring undermines transparency and long-term stability, reinforcing authoritarian practices.

Reports indicate that under Russian occupation, the plant’s management has forced workers to adopt Russian citizenship and sign contracts with Rosatom, accompanied by extended shifts and accounts of torture. These actions severely undermine labor rights and human dignity.

Executive Political Engagement

The effective co-optation of the plant’s management—replacing Ukrainian oversight with personnel aligned with Russian interests—has enabled the imposition of repressive measures and undermined democratic accountability, facilitating authoritarian control over the facility.
