Putin deploys chemical troops for provocation at Crimean Titan plant - guerillas

The ATESH guerrilla movement reported the information.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin has ordered the "chemical defense" troops to enter the territory of the Kherson region. Officially, this action is taken to address the consequences of the Kakhovka HPP’s "breach.”

However, chemical troops are not equipped or trained for such tasks, unlike civilian institutions.

According to the source, the real purpose of deploying chemical troops there may be to provoke a fire at the Crimean Titan plant.

"Russia may cause another man-made disaster in the defense of the Crimean peninsula. We want to believe it will not happen, but we need to prepare for the worst case scenario. After the Kakhovka tragedy, there is no doubt that they are capable of anything," the statement said.

• The head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, reported that Russian troops had mined the Crimean Titan chemical plant on the temporarily occupied peninsula.
