Ukraine says Russia considering nuclear plant 'terror' attack, Moscow denies it
Reuters ^ | June 22, 2023

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday Ukrainian spies had received information showing Russia was considering carrying out a "terrorist" attack at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant involving a release of radiation.

The Kremlin dismissed the allegation as "another lie", and said a team of U.N. nuclear inspectors had visited the plant and rated everything highly.

In a video statement on the Telegram messenger, Zelenskiy said Kyiv was sharing the information about the Russian-occupied facility in southern Ukraine with all its international partners from Europe and the United States to China and India.

"Intelligence has received information that Russia is considering the scenario of a terrorist act at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant - a terrorist act with the release of radiation," he said. "They have prepared everything for this."

teevolt "restraint because made up of Russian speaking slavs"

That didn't stop Putin's army from terrorising Russian speaking slavs in Kherson, Mikolaiv, Mariupol etc.

There was no restraint - Russia initially wanted to grab territory, now they want to deny it

Disagree again, even in Mariupol there was restraint shown. Example, towards the end many Ukrainian fighters, believe mostly Azov, were trapped in the underground area of an industrial plant. To their credit, they held out. Russia could’ve decided to blow the basement to the moon, and moved on, but instead they waited them out and they eventually surrendered. I understand this war is brutal, and atrocities happen, no doubt. At the same time Russia hasn’t gone full Stalinist in its operations, at least so far.

Blowing the power plant will render Ukraine and several other countries uninhabitable, and perhaps even all of Europe.

It will be the greatest human disaster since Mt Toba 74,000 years ago

“””Everything that comes out of Zelensky’s mouth stinks of lies and the balls of western elites. He is a desperate rat in a corner and he looks more like one every day. He will try anything to drag Nato in to try to save his sorry ass. They can fight under the rainbow fag, I mean flag.”””

I’m amazed at how much homosexual imagery some of you carry around inside your heads and somewhat amazed that you write it down on a public forum.

You're liar and a fool. Everything you're blaming Russia of is actually of the Biden regime.

Only a fool would believe Russia would flood land and endanger water supply to territory it controls and is part of the Russian Federation.

You're of your father, the devil, Timber, a liar just like you buddies running this war in the Biden regime and Deep State.

Why the hell would Russia sabotage a nuclear power plant it control that is providing electricity to regions that are now part of the Russian Federation? Russia has spend consider money rebuilding Mariupol. Why would they do that and undermine all the work by risking a nuclear meltdown? Only someone with the IQ of grapefruit would believe this propaganda.

Hmm.

“Why the hell would Russia sabotage a nuclear power plant it control that is providing electricity to regions that are now part of the Russian Federation?”

Have you ever thought to ask how Kyiv, or the 3.2 million Ukrainians living within a hundred miles of ZNPP outside of the conflict zone, would benefit?

Your logic is broken.

Even Russia’s favourite talking heads on Rossiya 1 reckon the RF may have just flooded deliberately in order to delay a Uke advance. Amongst other things they’ve said is, let’s do it to other dams. “Send a message.”

They’re not arguing “Why the hell would WE have done it”, because they know damned well that there are loads of good reasons why they could’ve done it.

Ditto ZNPP. They’re getting their excuses in early.

The reactor is not even 15% operational. Fortunately, not even 15% of the area Russia has control of is densely populated. A Fukushima level accident hurts big population centres north of the Dnieper far far more than it hurts the miniscule mud hut level implanted Russian occupation. South Ukraine was already practically deserted because Russia’s been bussing its people out for the last six weeks.

“Russia has spend consider money rebuilding Mariupol” - so what? They rebuilt Grozny too. And Chechnya has gone from being nearly civilised to being more like Afghanistan, if Afghanistan had a single leader like Pol Pot.

The Neocons at the State Department would be first in line to sabotage a Nuclear power plant in Ukraine. Think of the bribes in that cleanup?!

Nuland and Sullivan are helping clear the way for Backrock's teams as we speak.
