These messages are distributed by Russian propaganda media and anonymous telegram channels. The report says that after the pseudo-referenda ZNPP came under the jurisdiction of Rosatom. However, this is not true.

According to the Center for Combating Disinformation, there can be no transfer of the ZNPP under the jurisdiction of Rosatom. The invaders actually carried out a raider seizure of the nuclear power plant by stealing the seal. The President of Energoatom, Deputy General Director of ZNPP Petro Kotin, issued an order to invalidate the stolen seal of the previous sample, and also approved the use of the new seal from October 6, 2022.

By spreading such manipulative statements, the Kremlin is trying to increase the world's nuclear blackmail and try to intimidate Ukraine's partner countries. Previously, propagandists spread reports that allegedly the Zaporizhzhia NPP was in a “catastrophic” state, and Russia had saved it.
