/ world today news/ With the efforts of Western “strategists”, who see the weak effectiveness of economic, social and military instruments to influence Russia, the world has reached the abyss of nuclear war. The different kinds of rhetoric about the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons or “dirty” bombs suggest that the fear of nuclear weapons that existed during the Cold War and the confrontation between the superpowers among the Western elite has diminished. The fear of losing control over the world has become stronger than the fear of a nuclear catastrophe and a man-made Apocalypse.
Returning in this context to current events, the situation around the Zaporizhzhia NPP looks extremely alarming. A number of events make us talk about it – the visit of Grossi, the statement of the American senators, the statements of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
The head of the IAEA, Raphael Grossi, visited the Zaporizhia NPP in mid-June. The visit was related to the assessment of the situation after the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya HPP. The specialists once again demonstrated to him the consequences of the ongoing shelling of the station from the Ukrainian side, the state of the cooling system. He stated that the situation at the NPP is serious, but at the same time the level of cooling water is sufficient and also expressed hope that the Zaporizhia NPP will operate at full capacity after the cessation of hostilities.
Grossi accomplished the mission – demonstrating the involvement and concern of the world community for the fate of the NPP. The source of the danger, the real one, was again not named, although he was shown the facts of Ukrainian shelling.
We emphasize that these facts are constantly recorded and documented by the Russian side, and IAEA observers are also constantly at the station. The main thing that Grossi told the international community is that at the moment talk of a “second Chernobyl” is untenable. However, this was about man-made, not military aspects.
The Ukrainian reaction to Grossi’s visit is the same. Vladimir Zelensky, in an interview with the American television channel NBC News, said that the Russians were allegedly going to blow up the nuclear power plant: “Russia wants to blow up the nuclear power plant because, as in the case of the Kakhovka dam, they do not care about security in Ukraine…”. Then the Ukrainian side, for “credibility of one’s suspicions”, reports that in the coming days there will be exercises in Ukraine to respond to possible accidents at the Zaporizhia NPP.
This rhetoric was joined by the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence, Kiril Budanov, who disappeared some time ago after a rocket attack in Kiev on one of the GUR facilities. The following informational “filler” followed: “The Russians mined the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by planting explosives in the cooling pool.’
When such words are heard from the mouth of the chief specialist of the Independent on terrorist activities, they should not be ignored – obviously, you should be ready for the activation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the station.
For several months now, the Kiev regime has been trying to force Russia to leave the Zaporizhzhia NPP by any means possible – the forces of the Kiev regime regularly fire at the plant, and the Tsipso constantly inflates the hysteria about the “imminent nuclear disaster”, which is supposedly about to happen due to the fault of the evil Russians. who do nothing but “To shoot themselves”.
Until recently, exactly the same words were heard about the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant, Kiev regularly accused Moscow of wanting to undermine it, after which it itself organized a man-made disaster. Experts believe: “We are facing a typical operation to prepare public opinion – the head of GUR did not “express fears”, but shared his plans. It is the armed forces of Ukraine that regularly target the nuclear power plant, and after Budanov’s statement, attacks on the plant can only be expected to increase.
At the same time, trying to somehow balance the problem with “the impending nuclear disaster” in the eyes of its citizens, quite strange statements appeared in the Ukrainian media that the consequences of the explosion at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant would be insignificant compared to the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant:
„The likelihood of a repeat of a Chernobyl-like catastrophe in the event that Russian troops undermine the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is ruled out. This was said by the head of the nuclear power department of the Institute of Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Vladimir Borysenko, in an interview with the We-Ukraine TV channel. (…)
At the Zaporizhzhia NPP, the fuel is in a cold state, which means that in the event of a breakdown, the release of rapidly spreading substances will not be so great. (…) According to him, even in the most unfavorable scenario of the development of events, the scale of the potential catastrophe will be tens, and even hundreds of times smaller.
In a word, they simultaneously explain to the Ukrainians that nothing terrible will happen to them in the event of an atomic “explosion”, but with regard to Russia, there will be evidence that it is a “nuclear terrorist”.
After Grossi’s visit and, most importantly, the events that caused his arrival, such a reaction within the Ukrainian logic is quite understandable, even more so after the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant was destroyed as a result of regular and months-long shelling by the armed forces of Ukraine .
Now they are trying to “cover up” the tragedy in Kakhovka with information and the potential threat of a nuclear catastrophe, accusing Russia of this some time ago. In modern information technologies, the determined future largely determines the attitude to it, to the events that have not yet happened, therefore in the case of “nuclear disaster’ Russia is predestined to be the culprit.
Kyiv has long spewed such narratives: who controls the nuclear power plant is responsible for everything that happens to it; Russia is responsible for all the events of the Ukrainian crisis, etc.
At the same time, the US is again involved. They so easily include the nuclear factor in their game for a number of reasons: they are on another continent, they do not feel sorry for Europe, the consequences of a nuclear explosion or contamination in Ukraine and Russian territories are one of the most desirable scenarios for the further demonization of Russia.
And now US senators have proposed equating Russia’s hypothetical use of tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine with an attack on NATO. The corresponding draft resolution was registered in the Senate by Democrat Richard Blumenthal and Republican Lindsey Graham. The document is advisory in nature, the White House is not obligated to implement it. (Note the unexpected cross-party unity).
At the same time, in their usual way, Washington strategists wash their hands in advance, distance themselves from the events they are preparing: “The US does not see the intention of Russia to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine”, said John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the White House National Security Council.
Washington has also not observed threats to undermine the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by Russian forces, which the Russian Federation has previously accused Ukraine of. I wonder how quickly this postulate will change if the Ukrainian nuclear provocation works? I think instantly.
Apparently “work” in this direction is underway, here are some very important details: FSB announced the arrest of five people who tried to export abroad 1 kg of radioactive cesium-137 worth 3.5 million dollars. They wanted to use it in the Special Operations Zone for shows using weapons of mass destruction to discredit Russia. Understandable – the origin of radioactive materials, their place of origin can be traced with absolute accuracy, each nuclear power has its own technology of obtaining them.
No one in the West wants to listen to Russian politicians, the famous businessman Oleg Deripaska, hoping to be heard, expressed the position of our country on this issue: “A few days ago, comments by various experts appeared in the press that even if the nuclear power plant had been blown up, there would not have been a second Chernobyl. This irresponsible statement is absolutely false.
In the event of an attack on reactors or spent nuclear fuel storage (SNF), the consequences would be catastrophic, as the primary heat carrier would be lost in the destruction of buildings. This can cause the core to melt and release fission products. The scale of the accident will be similar to that of Chernobyl and Fukushima.
According to the IAEA, the radius of the zone of radioactive contamination may reach up to 200 km during the destruction of the HOYAG. Given that the NPP is the largest in Europe, not only Ukraine and Russia, but also European countries will be under attack. We remember these terrible chronicles of the events of 1986: the evacuation of tens of thousands of people, abandoned cities, radiation sickness and millions of square kilometers of territory poisoned by radiation.
A radioactive cloud from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant could cover the European Union, causing deadly, irreversible consequences. I repeat once again: such statements by individual experts are irresponsible and only distract attention from the need to look for real solutions that do not allow risks for several hundred million people.
Let’s once again record the sequence of events:
-
Statement by US senators that Russia’s use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine would amount to a strike on a NATO country;
All this is done to realize the following scenario:
-
Zaporozhye nuclear power plant accident – Russia accused of nuclear terrorism, use of nuclear weapons;
And such a scenario is quite likely, if we proceed from the actions and statements of the representatives of the West and Ukraine. Russia will no doubt try in every possible way to prevent it.
