The military institution indicated on the Zvezdá television channel that it analyzes in detail and deeply the information from independent channels about Ukraine’s preparations to attack the plant.

According to Russian military authorities, the objective of this provocation is to accuse Moscow of self-firing at the plant to create reasons to attack nuclear facilities in Ukraine.

We consider such actions by the Ukrainian government, supported by its Western sponsors, as a direct and clear violation of the international convention adopted by the UN General Assembly resolution of April 13, 2005, on the fight of acts of nuclear terrorism, the ministry added.
