Ukraine’s military intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov, said Thursday that the threat to the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) is subsiding.
Ukrainian officials have been claiming without evidence that Russia planted explosives at the ZNPP and were warning an attack was imminent. But the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Wednesday its experts at the plant saw no signs of explosives, although the agency was asking for more access.
Budanov said the alleged Russia threat was “decreasing” but wouldn’t offer any details. “Sorry I can’t tell you what happened recently but the fact is that the threat is decreasing”, he said. “This means that at least we have all together with joint efforts somehow postponed a technogenic catastrophe.”
Russian officials were also accusing Ukraine of plotting an attack on the ZNPP, which has been controlled by Russia since March 2022. A Russian nuclear advisor claimed Ukrainian forces planned to fire missiles at the plant stuffed with radioactive material on July 5, but the attack never happened.
The ZNPP has been the scene of fighting throughout the war as Ukraine launched failed attacks on the plant to recapture the facility last fall. At the time, Ukraine blamed shelling on the Russian-controlled plant on Russian forces.
This doesn't seem like good news. I hope the issue can be resolved as soon as possible.借錢When one of their own anti-aircraft missiles landed on the wrong side of the border, Ukraine called it a Russian attack on Poland. But NATO countries knew better and refused to play along. This looks like a repeat of that incident. Thank God that the IAEA stood upon its principles.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was not because of principles it was to avoid radiating Europe by Ukrainians
So the Ukrainians decided not to bomb it..
No, the Russians decided not to bomb it.
Ukraine (Dictator Z) has already been caught in the lie that Russia put explosives on the roof the facility, by the IAEA, so Dictator Z’s narrative fell apart before they could carry it out.
Were they allowed to check the entire premises of the plant? Dictator P has only given them limited access.
Still getting drunk on your own supply I see.
I agree, which is amazing given the IAEA’s long tradition of supporting all wars, regardless of the truth. I guess, they’re realizing that this war is not like Syria, Iraq, or Iran–this is a war that’s escalating into a full fledged nuclear war.
figure it out Julio, the Russians are controlling the reactor facility.
they would not bomb it while they are occupying it.
and they wouldn’t abandon it because somebody else would then occupy it.
Ukraine Spy Chief Says Threat to Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Subsiding
“damnit they are on to us … ABORT!”
Agreed. You would have to be a two hole brainwashed, Deep$hitState operative, or a Ukrainian/European neo-Nazi to believe otherwise. Even total idiots should know better.
But on the positive side, the Russians now have a longer list of names to use for their new missiles. (Sarcasm)
“This means that at least we have all together with joint efforts somehow postponed a technogenic catastrophe.” – Kyrylo Budanov
What kind of doublespeak is that? Sounds like something Antony Blinken would say. Just so we blame the whole thing on Russia doesn’t mean that it has to make any sense.
It doesn’t have to make sense. The comment sections of almost all US and Western MSM sites demonstrate clearly that the masses are happily slurping up and regurgitating even the most ridiculous and obvious propaganda about the disaster in Ukraine.
It’s enough to make one wonder, again, if average humans just aren’t all that bright.
Never mind……
Shades of SNL and since it isn’t funny anymore the comedian that runs Ukraine for Victoria would be perfect for the next season when he’s out of a job.
Of course it’s subsiding. Dictator Z has been given the command to stop planning the false flag attack.
There needs to peace NOW. world avoided ww3 twice already that might have occurred because of the war. One we avoided it because of a misfire when a Russian fighter plane fired on uk spy plane due to misunderstanding orders.
2nd time because of fear of Europe getting radiated eu leaders put a stop to a Ukrainian false flag about to launched on the biggest nuclear plant in Europe. This definitely would’ve lead to uncomfortable escalation leading to ww3.
THIS WAR MUST END NOW.
