MOSCOW, October 3. /TASS/. Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant CEO Igor Murashov was "expelled" to the territory controlled by Kiev after he confessed of collaboration with Ukrainian intelligence agencies. The confession video was aired on Russian TV Tuesday.

"I was in contact with Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) employee Igor Kazemirsky via messenger apps, and the point of our contact was that I informed him about the situation at the nuclear power plant," Murashov says on the video.

Murashov underscored that he knew about the damage inflicted on the station by Ukrainian shelling.

"All this damage could have caused emergencies. The most probable variant of the shellings: they came from the Ukrainian side, from Dnieper," he said. "The power plant staff was in danger, and it continues to remain in danger when it repairs the damage caused by these shellings," the former CEO said.
