A false flag operation using radioactive warheads is reportedly aimed at spent nuclear fuel
Ukrainian forces have begun preparations to target nuclear waste storage sites at a Russian power plant with radioactive warheads and to then blame Moscow, according to intelligence received by Russia.
“Sources on the other side report that the [Ukrainians] are preparing a nuclear false flag – an explosion of a dirty atomic bomb,” military journalist Marat Khairullin said Friday on his Telegram channel. “They plan to strike the storage sites of spent nuclear fuel of a nuclear power plant.”
The special warheads intended for the attack have already been delivered to the Vostochny Mining and Processing plant in Zhovti Vody, in Ukraine’s Dnepropetrovsk Region, according to Khairullin.
As possible targets of the attack, Khairullin indicated either the Zaporozhye NPP in Energodar or the Kursk NPP in Kurchatov, noting that the Ukrainian government and its Western backers are “desperate and willing to try anything.”
A security official in the Russian Military Administration of Kharkov Region corroborated Khairullin’s claim to RIA Novosti on Friday. The attack is intended to use radioactive warheads to target spent fuel storage sites at a nuclear power plant, and the ammunition has already been delivered to Zhovti Vody.
Kiev’s intention is to accuse Moscow of a false flag so it could justify using nuclear weapons against Ukraine, the security official said. The Ukrainian government has received orders from its Western backers to “escalate as much as possible,” he added.
According to the security official, the intelligence came from Ukrainian prisoners of war.
Sergey Lebedev, introduced as leader of the Nikolaev Region underground, who said the planned attack would be carried out with NATO weapons, with the consent of the West.
Lebedev pointed out that a large number of Western journalists have already arrived in the Sumy Region near Kursk, as well as the Ukrainian-controlled part of Zaporozhye, suggesting that this is part of Kiev’s preparations for the nuclear false flag.
Oh wow. I never realized that before. Thanks for red‐pilling me.
I'm so glad this post was found by brilliant lemmy libs here to teach us right from wrong. I was almost tricked by ebul Putin!
Okay, no more sarcasm: what do they get out of this? Seriously, what is the point? I am guessing that they honestly don’t know that we have already read or heard these generic opinions umpteen thousand times already, but what do they expect from restating them as blandly and insubstantially as possible? Is a reply like ‘you’re wrong’ or ‘I don’t like this source’ supposed to utterly blow our minds away? Can they simply not think of anything better to do with their time? What is the fucking point of any of this?
I think it's more for them than for us. They don't expect to change minds, they're just saying "these people are wrong and dumb and I am smart and see things for how they really are." It's self-soothing more than trying to educate someone. They don't know how to handle information that doesn't fit into their worldview, so they dismiss it without thinking about it.
I think the comment above yours is legit. There are a few people in the comment section taking the news seemingly at face value, or arguing "if this is true, then...". All news are propaganda, just different sides, which makes the comment a bit naive, but I get the meaning given the comment section.
When I said "if true" I meant more "if it is accurate" not that I think it is a lie by the evil Russians. News coming out of a Russian person's mouth doesn't automatically make it fake (which is what the lib above is saying)
The source isn't a random russian person though, it's a "Russian military administration" source, hard for me to trust a source from either government during wartime
There is a level of caution that should be exercised, sure, but we shouldn't dismiss everything out of hand (especially since "independent" third party sources are often even worse with their information.)
Surely not my point that we should automatically discard and ignore everything from russian government sources, just to be very careful when listening to all recounts and information about an ongoing military conflict
I know, I agree with you on that, but I guarantee that the lib above's point is that Russian==Bad, no thought involved.
Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's easy. It depends on what they're talking about, and what reasons they have to be honest or dishonest
I prefer my sources from the U.S State Department /s ; that's kinda the point though. Critical analysis of what is being told to you compared to other narratives/viewpoints.
Dismissing entire sections of information simply because they don't fit into your narrative or are associated with even a government source isn't good. You just have to change the lens that you are analyzing it with.
Of course, libs don't do any of that.
I routinely do this with US propaganda against China and with Israel anti-palestine propaganda, and I'm not ashamed to say it. I flat-out refuse to listen to news from these sources for the most part
Fair. However, we must consider the overall situation and recent news. NATO really wants Ukraine to keep wearing down Russia, and causing a nuclear threat to Russia certainly would damage Russia more than Ukraine has been able to do before.
Furthermore, this is consistent with the goals of the previous Kursk offensive. The earlier Kursk offensive’s goal seemed to be to take control of the Kursk nuclear power plant to threaten a nuclear meltdown on Russian soil and/or to take control of nuclear weapons nearby.
In other words, Ukraine has already tried this shit once. Fool me once, shame on you. Ukraine is not fooling Russia twice.
