What happens when a nuclear power plant becomes a battlefield?
In this episode of Lawyering Peace, Dr. Paul R. Williams speaks with Dr. Dmytro Koval — Co-Executive Director of Truth Hounds and Associate Professor of International Law at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy — about the weaponization of Ukrainian nuclear infrastructure in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
Drawing on Truth Hounds’ groundbreaking report “In a Nuclear Prison”, Dmytro unpacks how the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant — the largest nuclear facility in Europe — has become a site of coercion, forced collaboration, and state-sponsored impunity. The episode explores the blurred lines between civilian and military actors, the role of Rosatom, and why international law must evolve to confront “nuclear terrorism by proxy.”
🎧 A sobering, urgent conversation on legal accountability, nuclear safety, and the need for a 21st-century Geneva Convention for nuclear infrastructure.
