		</div><p>Ukraine’s nuclear power provider has accused Russia of “kidnapping” the head of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, a facility now occupied by Russian troops.</p>
<p>Russian forces seized Ihor Murashov, director-general of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, at about 4pm on Friday, Ukrainian state nuclear company Energoatom said.</p>
<p>Energoatom said Russian troops stopped Mr Murashov’s car, blindfolded him and then took him to an undisclosed location.</p>
<p>“His detention by (Russia) jeopardises the safety of Ukraine and Europe’s largest nuclear power plant,” said Energoatom president Petro Kotin said.</p>
<p>Mr Kotin demanded that Russia immediately releases Mr Murashov.</p>
<p>Russia did not immediately acknowledge seizing the plant director.</p>
<p>The Zaporizhzhia plant has repeatedly been caught in the crossfire of the war in Ukraine.</p>
<p>Ukrainian technicians continued running it after Russian troops seized the power station. The plant’s last reactor was shut down in September amid ongoing shelling near the facility.</p>
<p>The International Atomic Energy Agency, which has staff at the plant, did not immediately acknowledge Energoatom’s claim of Mr Murashov’s capture by the Russians.</p>
