Russia Turned Europe’s Largest Nuclear Plant Into a Military Base

Russia seized Europe’s largest nuclear power plant and turned it into a military base. This UNITED24 documentary investigates how the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was attacked while operating at full capacity with over 12,000 staff on site, and how it later became a fortified military position storing heavy weapons on nuclear territory.

Testimonies from engineers, plant workers, residents, and Ukrainian CBRN command reveal evidence of coercion, detentions, and torture used to control personnel essential for reactor safety.

This film documents how nuclear infrastructure can be turned into a tool of war, occupation, and geopolitical leverage.
