On January 23, head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed that the Ukrainian military is deploying military equipment on the territory of its nuclear power plants. The nuclear facilities are used as warehouses for weapons supplied by the Kiev’s Western partners, including HIMARS MLRS etc.
According to Sergei Naryshkin, in the last week of December, “several wagons with deadly cargo” were delivered to the Rivne NPP, which is located in the city of Varash in western Ukraine.
“The Foreign Intelligence Service receives reliable data that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are storing weapons and ammunition provided by the West in the territories of nuclear power plants. They include the most expensive and scarce missiles to HIMARS MLRS complexes and foreign air defense systems, as well as large—caliber artillery ammunition,” he claimed.
The reason why the Ukrainian military is hiding precious weapons in the NPP is clear. Russian forces do not strike nuclear facility. Naryshkin also warned that in case of any incident, for example if the notorious Ukrainian air defense mistakenly damage an NPP and the military equipment detonate, anyway, Moscow will be the first to be blamed for the catastrophe.
This is not the first evidence that the Kiev regime ignores the nuclear threat for the sake of its own interests. The Ukrainian military is constantly shelling the Zaporozhye NPP, threatening the lives and health of millions of Ukrainians, as well as citizens of other states, including the EU countries. Kiev ignores Russia’s demands to stop the shelling, which has already damaged several facilities on the territory of the NPP, and to withdraw heavy military equipment from the area near the station, which is still under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is yet to comment on the claims of the Russian side. However, it is unlikely to acknowledge the crimes of the puppet Kiev regime. The IAEA has left some employees at the Zaporozhie NPP to monitor the situation. The Agency also decided to deploy its representatives at other Ukrainian nuclear power plants. Foreign specialists have already arrived at the South Ukrainian Power Plant in the Mykolaiv region, as well as at the Rivne NPP.
