Russian forces 'fire rockets at SECOND nuclear facility': Warning of 'large-scale ecological disaster' as missiles hammer Kharkiv physics institute with atomic reactor inside... two days after attack on Zaporizhzhia power plant
UK Daily Mail ^ | March 06 2022 | CHAY QUINN

Russian forces are firing rockets at a physics institute in the city of Kharkiv that contains nuclear material and a reactor which could lead to a 'large-scale ecological disaster' if hit, according to Ukraine's national security service.

The service said on Facebook on Sunday that the Russians were firing at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology from Grad launchers. Missiles fired from Grad launchers do not have precise targeting, raising concern that one could damage the reactor and release deadly radiation across Europe.

The science institute houses the Neutron Source nuclear research facility and contains 37 nuclear fuel cells in its core, according Ukrainian foreign minister Emine Dzheppar.

“Russia is downwind from these nuclear facilities, so this is idiotic, if not suicidal.”

Think longer term. Right now the winds in the Ukraine are running north to south. In spring, starting in roughly April they change to run east to west and remain that way for quite awhile.

Look at the dispersal pattern for Chernoybl from May of 1986 for an example.

Putin wouldn't need a nuclear launch at least initially. With some conventional explosives he could turn Western Europe( Nato) into a nuclear human no go zone by using the Ukraine as a potential giant dirty bomb. The panic and economic dislocation would be enormous. There would be some overlap back into Russia but I believe the Russians would accept it.

We are living in interesting times and the situation is spiraling out of control.

The first plant attack proved false


So the videos of explosions and the tracer fire into the Zaporizhzhia plant was from some video game?

The plant was under the Russian control for quite some time. Some guys opened fire on their patrol from the office building nearby and then set the building on fire. Someone else filmed the smoke and started to scream that the plant was on fire. It is another provocation of propaganda value.

Exactly. Another hint that this is just another propaganda story by the Daily Mail. Way too over-the-top to be reasonable; you'd think they could do better than this.

What is the point of doing so, from the Russian perspective? How many of similar hoaxes were already debunked over last 10 days?

There are other narratives regarding the Zaporizhia nuclear plant. According to other sources (yes, the Russians) the plant had already been under Russian control for at least a day, and Ukrainian operators were still on the job, when a fire occurred - in an administration building, (which the Russians claim was intentionally set) and was contained immediately. Zelensky was on the air 20 minutes later, declaring a nuclear emergency.

There are videos on the internet showing Russian soldiers alongside the well-armed UKR plant security force at Zaporizhia, with the plant still operating with its regular employees. And the electricity is still on in Kiev, by the way.

All of the Western media is showing only one side, and the dominant social media are blocking all contrary accounts. That alone should make people ask questions.

Were is the real evidence that this is even true? And if there is evidence the institute has been hit then were is the evidence that Russia did it.

It's beyond stupid to belief the Russians want to cause a nuclear reactor breach at facilities that would kill their own troops and spread radiation to their own country.

Why? Because the MSM tells them. That is all that is needed for the mental types that listen to outfits like CNN.

I mean, c’mon, these are the same sorts of inbred idiots that believe that >half of the votes were cast for BeijingBiden.

“In the Truth there is no News, and in the News there is no Truth.”

Wow, that is a very old Soviet joke. And I mean 1940's old, if not earlier. I heard that one from instructors in DLI during the 80's.

Where did I claim it? Regarding this conflict, the debunked propaganda is mostly coming from the Ukrainian side.

Right the evil satan-worshiping Nazi Ukrainians are so corrupt they have to spend all their riches on propaganda unkike Russians who never resort to such low tactics. Its Pravda, you know because Russians are the most truthful and peaceful people on Earth
