**It was reported that the head of the hotly contested power plant was kidnapped/detained over the week end. Today’s the news report is that this individual has been ‘released’**

**The perception managing media wants you to believe it was Russia. Pay attention to the way Reuters presents the information?**

[Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/head-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-has-been-released-iaea-says-2022-10-03/?rpc=401&)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> `<strong>“Ukraine said a Russian patrol detained Ihor Murashov on Friday as he travelled from Europe's largest nuclear power plant to the town of Enerhodar, where many of the plant's staff live..”</strong>`

**Ukraine said? Traveled from the plant to home.**

> **“The *IAEA said on Saturday it had been in contact with “the relevant authorities”* *without mentioning Russia* by name and said it had been informed that Murashov was in *“temporary detention”.***

[IAEA](https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/update-110-iaea-director-general-statement-on-situation-in-ukraine)

> ***“His absence from duty in this way also has an immediate and serious impact on decision-making in ensuring the safety and security of the plant,”*** Director General Grossi added.

**Gee, and what party benefits from seriously impacting the safe and secure operation of the plant? It sure plays into Ukraine’s hands!**

**The IAEA contacted the “relevant authorities” without mentioning Russia by name? Temporary detention?** **Clearly you are being led to believe that the relevant authorities contacted were the Russians. However it could equally be and is more likely to have been the Ukrainians! Why?** **Cui Bono?**

**Why would Russia even bother to “kidnap” this individual?
They don’t benefit. Also, Russia doesn’t need to kidnap or detain this individual outside of the plant. Which is why.. I lean towards the Ukrainians most probably detaining the individual for a couple of reasons**

- **Score PR points by promoting anti – Russian propaganda via the 5/6 eyes media**
- **Gather information- Terrorize this individual**

**The Russians have left this individual in place all this time to ensure the plant is running safely. Why on earth would they *‘detain’* him on his way home from work? Clearly he is free to go to and from the plant. Why not simply make it impossible for him to leave?**

**The first casualty of war is always truth. And this whole story comes off as absurd level Ukrainian propaganda- Period.**
