Nov 30 (Reuters) - Russia said on Wednesday it had promoted the chief engineer of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant to become its director, after Kyiv said the plant's previous boss was abducted by Russian authorities. The nuclear power plant, Europe's biggest, has been occupied by Russian forces since March. Moscow said in October it was putting the plant under the control of Russian nuclear authorities, a move the Ukrainian government says is illegal. "The new director of Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and first deputy general director of the Zaporizhzhia power plant operating company is Yuriy Chernichuk," said Renat Karchaa, an adviser to the CEO of Russian state energy organisation Rosenergoatom, according to Russian state Rossiya 24 TV. Kyiv also accuses Moscow of hiding military equipment at the plant, which Russia denies.
