The Kyiv authorities want to extend bans on peaceful gatherings and bans on professions even in territories that they do not control.

On May 11, 2022, the head of the state-owned National Nuclear Power Generation Company Energoatom, Pyotr Kotin, announced that he had fired three employees of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant: Galina Kiselyova, Yury Vlasov and Vlad Lavrik.

He fired them only because they took part in the "Immortal Regiment" action in the city of Energodar, which is located on the territory controlled by Russian troops.

The Zaporizhzhya NPP is located in Energodar, but it is managed by the Ukrainian Energoatom.

"The Immortal Regiment" is an action that takes place on the Day of Victory over Nazism on May 9 in many cities around the world.

Its participants carry portraits of their relatives who died in the Great Patriotic War.

In recent years, in Ukraine, members of the Immortal Regiment have been attacked by ultra-right formations with the inaction or assistance of the police.

In 2022, the Immortal Regiment actions took place only on the territory controlled by Russian troops, including in Energodar.

According to the current labor legislation in Ukraine, the head of an enterprise cannot dismiss an employee for his participation in any peaceful assembly.

According to the legislation in force in Ukraine, the head of the enterprise should be held liable for violation of labor rights.
