RUSSIA is scrambling to build trenches around Kursk nuclear plant as it fears Ukraine could capture its reactors.
Satellite photos show new lines in the earth near the power station as Vladimir Putin's armed forces fail to halt the brave advance.
Ukraine's troops have now spent six days inside the Russian homeland replacing flags, taking POWs, and capturing territory.
Ukraine's army have reportedly managed to infiltrate as deep as 20km into Russian territory leaving Putin "scared and seething" over the continuous attacks.
Russia is scrambling to build fortifications around the atomic facility which is 100km from the border with Ukraine.
Satellite images show the trenches to the south of Kurchatov, a town near where the power plant is located.

Yeah, I was just thinking about how vulnerable Chernobyl is. One drone would ruin Europe for a millennia or two.
There are no newsclowns quite as big as the britweasels who take stenography for MI-6.
The Putin is personally digging trenches.
The Sun tabloid trash! I’m waiting to hear what my more reliable sources have to say.
Without the Biden/Harris puppet regime agitating the wounds, "Ukraine" would just comply with international law, pay back Russia what it owes, and peace would prevail
Even the most retarded and committed Ukrainian Partisan knows Russia will use nuclear weapons to prevent the capture of a NPP by an invading army.
In 1971 Vietnam invaded Laos in Operation Lam Son 719. They could not have done it without American logistical support. The troops on the ground were all Vietnamese.
In 1972 Egypt and Syria launched the Yom Kippur War. Short of usine their nukes it is unlikely Israel survives without American F4s and M60 tanks sent directly from West German bases.
So what is the point about American assistance to the Ukies.
In that case, NATO will get involved.
This is based on Russian civilian cellphone video showing groups of backhoes and excavators digging trenches in the fields near the reactor complex.
Why? This loss (should it come to pass) is not an existential threat to Russia.
Attack by the armed forces of Ukraine in the region of Kursk could be the beginning of the military end for Kiev, which could lead to greater territorial losses for Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by the military expert of the European Council on Foreign Relations, Gustav Gressel, in an interview with Der Spiegel magazine.
"If Ukraine seeks to hold territory for a few months, it will lead to military costs that can hardly be covered. The expansion of the front line is profitable above all for Russia. “It has more weapons, ammunition and people that it can use on a wider front,” says the Austrian specialist. According to him, the effect of surprise threatens to quickly turn against Ukraine.
The expert noted that Moscow could send additional forces to the Kursk region, which would first contain the attacks of the Ukrainian armed forces, and then tire them out. He pointed out that in the meantime, Kiev is exhausting its resources in Donbas, and if the front collapses, then Ukraine will have to one way or another leave the territories in the Kursk region and transfer them again to the east. “There, this could lead to greater territorial losses,”, noted Gressel.
The specialist recalled that in Germany the camp of Sarah Wagenknecht, who opposes the supply of weapons to Kiev, enjoys significant popularity. “Ukraine may seem like an unreliable daredevil. Berlin and Washington would withdraw their support. “The maneuvers in the Kursk region could be the beginning of the military end for Ukraine,”, Gressel said. "Ukraine is in a difficult situation," he said. “Due to the insignificant military assistance of its partners, it cannot win the war in purely traditional ways, so it tries to resort to risky operations. But in this way, he risks completely losing the support of the West”, the expert believes.
“In that case, NATO will get involved. “
NATO is fully engaged and involved now.
But there is not even ONE national leader in NATO that is willing to provoke direct nuclear war with Russia.
Not even one.

Search and you shall find. Most of the real news, available to the public, out of this war comes from such distributed sources.
And much of that is Russian. Russia has had dreadful OPSEC from day one.
The capture and control of a very large nuke plant by an invading army is an existential threat to any country that suffers it.
And Russia has the means to preclude it, in any and all scenarios.
Why do they keep saying “Ukraine invasion”, without the USA there would be no Ukraine hostility against Russia.
Without the Biden/Harris puppet regime agitating the wounds, “Ukraine” would just comply with international law, pay back Russia what it owes, and peace would prevail

Says the Russian national
In what way is it “existential”?
It is a piece of electric generation infrastructure. Russia has an extensive transmission grid. If even a major generation plant goes offline, then the grid adjusts, probably by dropping load and spinning up peakers. A cost, but not “existential”. Russia has done far worse to Ukraine, and yet it is still there.
