Ukraine's defense ministry has warned that Russia is planning to simulate a major accident at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP) in order to thwart Ukraine's imminently expected counteroffensive. The plant in southern Ukraine is Europe's largest and has been under Russian control since last year. "Russians are preparing massive provocation and imitation of the accident at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in the nearest hours," the Ukrainian defense ministry's intelligence directorate said on social media on Friday. "They are planning to attack the territory of the ZNPP. After that, they will announce the leakage of the radioactive substances," it said. The department claimed that Russia hopes to trigger an international investigation which would require a ceasefire, allowing Russia to use the break in fighting to better prepare for Ukraine's counteroffensive. It did not provide any evidence for its claims. "They obviously will blame Ukraine," the Ukrainian department said.

Ukraine is expected to soon start its long-anticipated counteroffensive to retake territory occupied by Russia, including in the Zaporizhzhia region. Fighting has continually raged around the power plant, and both Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for dangerous incidents of shelling hitting the site. It was reported last week that Russian military forces had been enhancing defensive positions around the power plant ahead of the expected counteroffensive. One of Ukraine's most senior security officials, Oleksiy Danilov, told the BBC on Saturday that Ukraine was ready to begin the counteroffensive and that it could begin "tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a week."The UN International Atomic Energy Agency has previously warned about the risks of "a severe nuclear accident" at the plant due to ongoing fighting.


The Russians have held the Ukrainian physicists and engineers at the Enerhodar nuclear facility hostage for over a year.

In essence, they have made this nuclear facility - the largest in Europe - a Russian military base.

The “nearest hours”? Seeing as it’s been nearly a week, they’ve apparently got a very different definition of that than the rest of the world 🙄

The Ukrainian counteroffensive has not begun yet.

So not only would this supposed plan require it to happen before any such counteroffensive, but your own article says there isn’t a shred of proof for the claim.

You never give up with your nonsense, first of all the Russians blew up their own pipeline then we are told they shelled a nuclear power station they already control, the only threat to that power plant is from your lunatic Ukrainian pals, they have already shelled it in the past.

He probably got the information from his handlers at Langley, false flags are more their style.

I doubt it was that coordinated. Most likely, someone went “gee, if something bad were to happen at that plant at some point in the future it’d be convenient for us to be on the record preemptively blaming the Russians“.

Ukraine lost it's last military ship yesterday after being hit by the Russians in Odessa, doesn't matter they won't need any ships after this is over they won't have a coastline.

Lol. The Yuri Olefirenko was an outdated landing ship. I don't think it even had a gun on it.

The Moskva, the once pride and joy of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, remains at the bottom of the Black Sea.

More of your "whataboutism" becasuse you can't address the OP topic.

Whatever it was they were trying to hide it now it's gone, they won't have a coast when this is over.

It will be fun watching the Kremlin trying to supply Crimea with no southern land bridge and a broken Crimea bridge.
