On A So-Called Nuclear “Accident”
Here is your dramatic World War III headline for the week:
Russian Media Claims Ukraine Preparing ‘Dirty Nuke’ Attack; Kiev “Refutes These False Reports”
Russian state media outlets are sounding the alarm in the overnight hours, alleging that Ukrainian forces are preparing to strike the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Enerhodar, Ukraine, and the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) in Russia with radioactive warheads, all in an attempt to create a false flag and blame Moscow. Conversely, the Kyiv Independent quickly brushed off these claims as totally baseless. The situation unfolding in Eastern Europe underlines the growing uncertainty and chaos, thickening the ‘fog of war’ as tensions escalate.
Concerns over a ‘nuclear catastrophe’ have soared in the last week after Russia and Ukraine traded blame for a drone strike on ZNPP that sparked a fire in the nuclear power plant’s cooling tower. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is entering a new phase, with Ukraine invading Russian territory for the first time.
Now, several Russian state-controlled media outlets, including Russia Today, citing ‘intelligence received by Russia,’ warned on Friday night that “Ukrainian forces have begun preparations to target nuclear waste storage sites at a Russian power plant with radioactive warheads and to then blame Moscow.”

How the Russia-Ukraine War Could Go Nuclear–By Accident
A nuclear tragedy could be “dangerously close,” according to the UN’s top nuclear watchdog.
“Let me put it plainly–two years of war are weighing heavily on nuclear safety at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant,” said Rafael Mariana Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). “…Reckless attacks must cease immediately.”
Zaporizhzhia is a small town at the edge of Russian-occupied territory in Ukraine, home to Europe’s largest nuclear plant of the same name. The plant once employed 11,000 workers and provided power to seven countries, but since coming under Russian control, five of its six reactors have remained in cold shutdown. Only one remains partly operational, supplying power to the plant and nearby town.

Concerns of a nuclear disaster are back in the spotlight this week, as Russia and Ukraine spat over which side caused a fire that sent black smoke and flames curling from a cooling tower.
“We are waiting for the reaction of the world, we are waiting for the reaction of the IAEA,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky announced in a video post. “Russia must be held responsible for this.”
Russian representatives denied involvement in the fire and turned the accusations back on Ukraine, claiming the conflagration was caused by Ukrainian attacks on a nearby city and that it was an act of “nuclear terror.”
Damage to the tower from this latest attack reportedly poses no radiation hazard to the plant or to the surrounding region, though IAEA officials have requested entry to the premises to inspect the wreckage and ensure safety from any possible fallout.

In a wry quip from Slovenia’s UN Security Council delegate: “Playing with fire is unadvisable–playing with nuclear fuel rods, even less so.”
“There might be an accidental hit on a nuclear facility in the Russia-Ukraine war”.
My brother in Christ…There are no accidental strikes on nuclear facilities. Only intentional catalysts leading to disaster.
Very, very few things are truly “accidents” in clown world.
The ‘striking nuclear spots’ narrative has been ongoing since the war between Russia and Ukraine began. Ukraine claims Russia is going to do it. Russia claims Ukraine is going to do it. NATO claims Russia is going to do it. BRICS claims Ukraine is going to do it.
Nothing has happened yet. But that doesn’t mean it couldn’t. I think this is a pretty easy pathway to get NATO involved. Or to get Russia involved in targeting NATO. Either way, it would be a useful deep state strategy.
Personally, I don’t think the timing is right yet. I also doubt that this is their first-line strategy. I think they have other options up their sleeve first. Still, I’m sure this is a viable fallback option.
But one thing is for sure: If a nuclear facility gets hit, it sure as hell will not be an “accident”. What a load of it.
It is truly amazing how dumb they think we all are.
