Kiev is set on attacking the Zaporozhye power plant during a visit by the UN’s top official, the Russian military claims
Ukraine plans to carry out artillery strikes on the Russia-controlled Zaporozhye nuclear power plant on Friday, and then accuse Moscow of causing a disaster at the site, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday.
The predicted attack will be timed to coincide with the ongoing visit to Ukraine by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Moscow insisted.
An official said they had detected the movements of Ukrainian troops, indicating a looming “provocation.”
Kiev has deployed units trained in responding to the use of weapons of mass destruction, pre-positioning them to report a radiation leak and demonstrate a purported action to mitigate it, Russian military spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.
The ministry said it expects a Ukrainian artillery unit to attack the plant on Friday from the city of Nikopol. “The blame for the consequences [of the strike] will be attributed to the Russian armed forces,” the statement said.
In a separate statement on Thursday, Igor Kirillov, who heads Russia’s Nuclear Biological and Chemical Defense Troops, said his directorate has modeled possible scenarios for a disaster at the Zaporozhye plant. A plume of radioactive materials from the site may reach Poland, Slovakia and Germany, he warned.
Russia has accused Ukraine of conducting frequent drone and artillery strikes against the nuclear power plant in the city of Energodar over the past few weeks. Kiev has denied responsibility and said Russian forces were attacking the plant to discredit Ukraine. Ukrainian officials have also claimed that Russia is using the Zaporozhye facility as a military base.
During the briefing, Konashenkov denied Ukrainian claims that Russia has deployed heavy weapons at the Zaporozhye plant and is attacking Ukrainian troops from the site. The only Russian troops at the facility are lightly armed guards providing physical security, the official said.
The ministry pledged to do its best to prevent damage to the nuclear facility.

It’s hard to know how worried we should be about this. Of course, our media are telling us the Russians will attack even though they now hold the plant. Only the truly stupid (i.e., leftists) would believe that. The alternative media are saying or implying we should all be panicked. Half of Europe will be destroyed if a nuclear reactor is hit!
This story has an embedded video with Robert Kelley, ex head of the IAEA, playing down the threat. He asserts the reactors are shut down so nothing truly catastrophic is possible. He says neither the Russians nor Ukrainians–who spent billions on the plant–want it destroyed; it’s too valuable. The Russians want it working to supply Crimea with power; the Ukrainians want to cut off this possibility.
Like my dentist says:
“Nothing that time and money won’t fix.”
Ironically true.
ukraine has nearly unlimited, revolving, potential.
Jonestown was a HORRIBLE tragedy. ONLY one politician/staff, smattering of the ‘media’.
It is now 9:10 AM EST.
It is 4:10 PM in Ukraine. Only 8 hours left to their day.
Soooooo …. where is this “provocation”????? Crickets!!!
This is why I no longer read RT. I mentioned this last week and got 6 thumbs down. I guess you people like reading BULLSHIT. I’ll bet you have a subscription to the Washington comPost.
Goddamned lying cocksucking whore motherfucking Ukrainian shitheads. Russia controls that area. Why the fuck would Russia attack itself????
Sonar21 had a link the other day whereby the Russkies retrieved parts of one of the missiles. (They don’t completely disintegrate upon detonation … AND key components can positively identify the missile.) Well, guess what? It was an American Hellfire missile!! Oops, there goes the “Russkies did it” narrative.
“Goddamned lying cocksucking whore motherfucking Ukrainian shitheads. Russia controls that area. Why the fuck would Russia attack itself????”
Don’t forget to add the West to that diatribe. They are the real master’s running thing’s in the Ukraine. If there is an attack the west will be behind it. The Provocateurs at large.
“It was an American Hellfire missile!! ”
Any additional substantiation/ link much appreciated.
Thank You.
Substantiate it? Why?? You calling me a liar????
Just kidding. Trust me, I read that …. I’m not making shit up. Unfortunately, this will be my last post until this evening … got lots of stuff to do. Don’t have time to find that link.

Another thing I don’t have time to look up. There was a report from some source in Moscow concerning the lull in fighting. Russia is literally giving their troops a vacation — to rejuvenate them, fix equipment, restock and reposition. It also stated that there are indications that Russia will initiate a massive Air Campaign against 404 early this fall.
In closing, Dmitri Medvedev post this “future map of the Ukraine after the war” on his Telegram account ….
I LIKE IT!!!

Ukraine also claims Russia used artillery to attack its own POW camp housing Ukes willing to testify against Ukraine war crimes. That makes total sense, doesn’t it?
I think HSF is correct about nukes being myth or folklore: neither means nukes do not exist nor implies falsehood, but suggest the culmination of a narrative gone awry.
Similar to the Moon Landing Lore.
I have a dentist appointment but hope someone reads this and thinks about these seeming to be unrelated topics which should be proven scientific facts, complete with irrefutable evidence.
Yet, both involved geopolitical inputs, coercion/collusion of Media and Message, resulting in outcomes which are neither rational nor irrefutable.
Hopefully, some stroicky type will respond who grasps Mchuan’s concept well enough to see how the Message and Medium have merged.
Look Up.
Never thought I would live long enough to ask this question……
Would I be better off, and better in the eyes of God, if I were Russian?
I hate being embarrassed to be an American.
I wonder if Russia is happy to use such an attack as casus belli for glassing Kiev.
If the Russians want this sort of shit to stop, they need to tell the Israelis that any attack on any Ukrainian or Russian nuclear site will be attributed to Israel.
Every Nation should tell them that … and follow through on it …
