The Zaporozhye nuclear power plant has been under the control of Russian troops since 2022 and is regularly the subject of accusations against both sides of threatening nuclear safety.
Kyiv plans to stage a strike on facilities associated with the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in order to justify its own attacks on nuclear power plants on Russian territory. RIA Novosti was informed about the provocation being prepared by the Ukrainian side in the Russian security forces.
“They have the task of staging another strike in order to accuse Russia of nuclear terrorism. So they themselves will blow up one or more objects closer to the border, in order to then attack nuclear power plants in Russia under the pretext of a retaliatory strike,” the agency’s interlocutor said.
Kyiv is going to choose substations or nuclear power plants near the front line as a target for provocation. It is also possible to stage the destruction of transformers and power lines associated with nuclear energy. A representative of the security forces also attacked the Dnieper substation in the Volnogorsk area.
