Quote: "Thanks to information provided by Ukrainian underground resistance and concerned citizens, it was possible to estimate that up to 1,300 personnel from the Russian National Guard are stationed at the ZNPP. 

In particular, the units of OMON Akhmat-1 (Grozny, TOT [Temporarily Occupied Territory – ed.] of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria) and SOBR Agat (Penza, Russia) were identified. 

For the sake of disguise, some invaders on duty use the uniforms of the ZNPP paramilitary guard, not the Russian Guard."

Details: The NRC also noted that the Russians are using the plant's technical and basement rooms to store small arms and artillery ammunition to supply both the contingent stationed at the plant and forces positioned nearby.
