Blowing up Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, residential areas: General Staff suggests that Russian forces may commit terror acts while retreating

Oleksii Hromov, Deputy Chief of the Main Directorate of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' General Staff, said this at a briefing.

“Given the lack of any humanity in the so-called second army of the world, compliance with international conventions, as well as the pathological lies of all Kremlin politicians and propagandists, the enemy can make "difficult decisions". It is most likely that during the retreat, the Russian enemy, in addition to mass evacuation, may resort to a series of terrorist attacks with the blowing up of residential areas, turning the temporarily occupied territories into scorched earth, causing critical damage to the infrastructure of the territories returned to Ukraine,” Hromov said.

He added that analyzing Russia's latest information on the "dirty bomb", blowing up the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is also not excluded.

“The goal of the false-flag attack is the final decommissioning of the nuclear power plant and a local man-made disaster with blaming Ukraine for it. Even the possible consequences of the disaster at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant were predicted by the Russians taking into account the wind in the westerly direction,” General Oleksii Hromov said.

• The General Staff reports that the invading Russian forces plan to mobilize more than 300 convicts in the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk region. 

• Recently mobilized Russian soldiers arrive in the occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region: there are cases of desertion.
