Russia continues to intimidate world with strikes on Kursk Nuclear Power Plant
Pravda Ukraine
The Russian Ministry of Defence has reportedly taken “with due seriousness” the information about the alleged preparation of a strike by Ukrainian troops on the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant (NPP).

Quote: “The purpose of this provocation is to accuse the Russian Federation of ‘self-attacking’ the plant to create grounds for strikes on Ukraine’s nuclear energy facilities.
We consider such actions by the Kyiv regime, with the support of its Western supervisors, to be a direct and clear violation of the International Convention on the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism.
If the Kyiv regime starts implementing criminal plans aimed at creating a man-made disaster in the European part of the continent with radioactive contamination of vast areas, tough military and military-technical measures will be taken immediately.”
Why this is important: This is not the first time that Russia has supposedly reported on preparations to strike nuclear power plants, as they have previously threatened to strike the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
On 16 August, Russian propagandists and milbloggers simultaneously spread reports of a supposedly prepared “dirty bomb” attack on the territory of the Kursk NPP.
Afterward, Heorhii Tykhyi, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, denied the Russian propagandists’ claims.
