Russia’s military seizure of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) marks the first time in history that an active nuclear facility has been placed under occupation, posing severe transboundary risks to Europe. A critical enabler of this violation is Russia’s state corporation Rosatom, which has militarised the site and coerced personnel while continuing to maintain commercial ties within the European Union. This unprecedented situation raises urgent questions about corporate complicity, state responsibility and the need for stricter international accountability.
This Hybrid Policy Dialogue will examine the specific risks to EU member states arising from the ZNPP occupation and present key findings from a new report from Truth Hounds, a human rights organisation investigating international crimes. By bringing together legal and technical experts, the discussion will explore Rosatom’s role in these breaches, the implications for EU due diligence and the potential for imposing targeted sanctions against the corporation’s leadership and subsidiaries.
