Russia has shown it is capable of organising “planetary-scale catastrophe”, a Ukrainian MP has said It follows claims that Moscow forces may have planted explosives at a nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine
Mr Goncharenko does not believe there will be an imminent attack on the nuclear power plant, but said he would not put it past the Russians.
He described the situation at ZNPP as a “psychological attack” ahead of the Nato summit taking place in Vilnius, Lithuania next week. “I think another possible aim is to distract Russian people themselves, because they are also very much concerned about what’s going on, if something happens at ZNPP the consequences can be felt also in Russia itself.”
“If detonated, they would not damage the reactors but would create an image of shelling from the Ukrainian side,” the army said in a statement on Telegram, adding that it stood “ready to act under any circumstances”.
