☢️ Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP):

On November 11, an employee of the Zaporozhskaya NPP was killed in his own home in a Ukrainian armed forces strike.

The previous day, another of our colleagues – an electrical fitter at ZNPP – was killed on his way to work. The car he was travelling in was attacked by a Ukrainian drone. He died of his injuries at the scene.

◾️ This brings the number of plant employees killed since April 2026 to fifteen.

The Ukrainian militants continue to strike residential buildings in Energodar and nearby villages. At night, while people sleep and recover before the next working day, their homes become targets.

Living conditions in Energodar have a direct bearing on the safety of the ZNPP. Above all, the plant’s safety depends on its people. They need to be able to rest after their shifts and feel confident that their families are safe.

❗️ By continuing its strikes on the city’s nuclear workers and their homes, the Kiev regime is deliberately jeopardising nuclear safety.

В Энергодаре погиб ещё один сотрудник Запорожской АЭС. С апреля этого года это уже пятнадцатый убитый работник станции.

Наш коллега был убит ночью в собственном доме, где отдыхал после смены.

ВСУ продолжают наносить удары по жилым домам Энергодара и близлежащих сёл. Ночью, когда люди спят и восстанавливают силы перед следующим рабочим днём, их дома становятся мишенями.

Усталость от непрекращающихся обстрелов и их последствий нарастает лавинообразно. За каждым отключением света, перебоями с водой, отсутствием тепла - люди, которым в этих условиях нужно жить, заботиться о близких и ежедневно выходить на работу.

Условия жизни Энергодара напрямую связаны с безопасностью Запорожской АЭС. Безопасность станции обеспечивают прежде всего люди. Им необходимы возможность отдохнуть после смены и уверенность в том, что их семьи находятся в безопасности. Продолжая удары по городу атомщиков, киевский режим намеренно создаёт угрозу ядерной безопасности.

Мы скорбим по нашему коллеге. Выражаем глубокие соболезнования его родным и близким. Для всего коллектива Запорожской АЭС это тяжёлая, невосполнимая потеря.

🗓️ On 10 November 2026, at the UNIDO headquarters in Vienna, the Permanent Mission participated in the second Development Dialogue on the Organization’s Strategy for Africa for 2026–2029.

🇷🇺 We took this opportunity to provide a detailed overview of the successful outcomes of the 3rd Russia-Africa Summit held in Moscow on 28-29 October 2026. It was emphasized that our country is committed to building equal and mutually beneficial relations with Africa, supporting the promotion of a sovereign and just development paradigm.

Representatives from the UNIDO Secretariat outlined promising areas of their work on the continent aimed at fostering sustainable industrialization. These include the development of strategic transport and industrial corridors, the enhancement of professional skills, facilitating enterprise access to finance and investment, supporting small and medium-sized businesses, building quality infrastructure, localizing high-value-added production in Africa, etc.

For their part, delegations from African countries emphasized the importance of ensuring that this process duly accounts for their national priorities, the transfer of advanced technologies and the need to address the energy requirements of the industrial sector.

The Russian Mission supported the latter point, underscoring the value of a rational approach to energy issues. This entails encouraging the use of not only renewables in industrial sectors, but also more efficient and cleaner traditional fuels, based on each nation’s specific context.
