Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered to prepare a terrorist attack on the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. At the Russian-controlled Chornobyl NPP, the occupiers plan to create a catastrophe, for which the occupiers will try to shift responsibility to Ukraine. This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
Currently, the Chornobyl nuclear power plant has been completely disconnected from the monitoring systems of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The station is de-energized. The service life of the available diesel generators is designed for 48 hours of maintenance of safety systems.

The occupiers refused to grant access to the station to Ukrainian repairmen. Instead, «Belarusian specialists» went there on the instructions of Alexander Lukashenko. Among them, under the guise of nuclear power, Russian saboteurs also come to organize a terrorist attack.
At the same time, in recent days, Putin’s troops have struck at the Zaporizhzhya NPP and the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology (there is an experimental nuclear reactor).
In order to imitate the involvement of the Ukrainian military in the Chornobyl accident, the occupiers are trying to create fake «evidence» to confirm their version. In particular, Russian automobile refrigerators collecting the bodies of dead Ukrainian defenders were spotted near the Antonov airport in Gostomel. There is a possibility that they will be presented as killed by saboteurs in the Chornobyl zone.

«That is, without getting the desired result from the ground military operation and direct talks, Putin is ready to resort to nuclear blackmail of the world community for the sake of concessions in support of Ukraine. At present, Ukraine, the world and Russia itself understand that the statements about Ukraine’s involvement in the creation of a nuclear threat are just a staging of a talentless scenario,» – the statement reads.
Nevertheless, such actions by Putin will have catastrophic consequences for the whole world.
It will be recalled that yesterday, February 24, Russian troops seized the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. The President’s Office considers this one of the most serious threats to Europe, as the occupiers can prepare provocations at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant or use the damage caused to facilities during the attack and blame Ukraine or damage the most dangerous facilities.
