ed note–the readers of this website will recall that it was this site, and to the best of our knowledge, this site alone, that homed in on the issue of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants–in particular Chernobyl–as likely being the intended target of Mossad/CIA sabotage and that it was this issue, the prospect of a ‘nuclear incident’ being created and Russia being blamed for it (but Putin getting wind beforehand) that resulted in the desperate decision being made to ‘pull the trigger’, no pun intended, on the present military exercises.
In our humble opinion/analysis and as the testimony of the Russian government below makes clear, the fire at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant that was originally blamed on Russia was an act of sabotage on the part of Mossad/CIA as a ‘Plan B’ replacement to the original ‘Plan A’ that involved the planned sabotage of Chernobyl, prevented only by the success of Russian military actions in seizing the facility early on in the invasion.
Now that ‘Plan B’ has not succeeded as well, expect a ‘Plan C’ that maybe worse than the previous 2 failed attempts.
What the reader needs to understand about all of this is that the original disaster at Chernobyl in 1986 is credited with being the ‘final straw’ that broke the back of the USSR, referred to in Foreign Policy discussions as the ‘Nuclear Theory’ to the fall of the Soviet Empire.
Doubtless as well is that the powers-that-be, seeing how well it worked in the past, were planning on a repeat performance in Ukraine, most likely with Chernobyl whose containment dome suffers from all sorts of structural problems and whose failure would lead to a new release of deadly radiation.
Given that these elements–Mossad, CIA and the ‘Deep State’ are desperate to drive the Russians out of the Middle East so that the entire ‘Eretz Israel haSchlema’ plan can move forward without any more meddlesome business in places such as Syria, Iran, southern Lebanon, etc, it is a good bet that a ‘Jernobyl, Pt. II’ was in the works and why Putin decided to move as he did at this time.
Please note a few statements from ‘Moses’ Zelensky, the ‘chosen’ president of Ukraine pleading to ‘Pharaoh’ Putin to ‘let my people go’–
…The targeting of the nuclear power plant was no accident…
Boy, did he ever get THAT ONE right, as well as his comparing the failed false-flag attack at Zaporizhzhia to what occurred in 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant coupled with his in-your-face-duplicitious-statement that Russia, who would CLEARLY SUFFER THE MOST in terms of radiation and fallout, ‘wants to repeat this’.
Nexto–
This is the first time in the history of mankind that a state has resorted to nuclear terror…
Now, on its face without digging past the surface of his statement, this is a blatant lie, given that it was none other than good ol’ Uncle Sam who introduced ‘nuclear terror’ into the lexicon of human discussion with its decision to drop ‘2 fine bombs’–as the Judaic terrorist Ariel Sharon described them, on 2 Japanese cities at the very end of WWII just to show the world that America had them and would use them to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.
But more than that, in this, the ‘post 9/11’ world, we need to understand just where Zelensky is taking everything with his use of the word ‘terror’, as in–
TERRORIST
and–
TERRORISM
Remember, Iraq was ‘wiped off the face of the earth’ because of the word ‘terror’ being associated with it…
Libya was ‘wiped off the face of the earth’ because of the word ‘terror’ being associated with it…
Syria was ALMOST ‘wiped off the face of the earth’ because of the word ‘terror’ being associated with it…
Judea would like to see Iran ‘wiped off the face of the earth’ because of the word ‘terror’ being associated with it…
And likewise with Russia

Russia’s Defense Ministry claims Ukrainian saboteurs were responsible for a ‘monstrous provocation’ that led to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant being fired upon and set aflame on Friday, having provoked Russian forces with small arms fire until they fired at the facility – a narrative that runs in stark contrast to Ukrainian reports.
A local authority in Ukraine said Friday that Russian military forces seized the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine’s southeast after a fire there started by Russian artillery shelling was extinguished.
‘Operational personnel are monitoring the condition of power units,’ it said on social media, adding that the efforts sought to ensure the operations were in line with safety requirements.
A Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said the nuclear plant was operating normally and the area had been under Russian control since Feb. 28.
‘However, last night on the territory adjacent to the power plant, an attempt was made by the Kyiv nationalist regime to carry out a monstrous provocation,’ spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.
‘On March 4 at about 2 a.m. during a patrol of guarded territory adjacent to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, a mobile patrol of the Russian National Guard came under attack from a Ukrainian sabotage group,’ he said.
‘To provoke return fire on the building, heavy small arms fire was opened on Russian National Guard servicemen from the windows of several floors of a training complex located outside the power plant.’
He said the Russian patrol returned fire to suppress the attack, and the ‘sabotage group’ abandoned the training complex, setting fire to it as they left.
The account was diametrically opposed to Ukraine’s version of events.
Though worrying, the fact that the fire was put out extinguishes fears that the damage to the power plant could have resulted in a major nuclear disaster.
In a statement early Friday morning, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the targeting of the nuclear power plant was no accident.
‘Russian tanks are equipped with thermal imagers, they know where to shoot,’ Zelensky said in a video address.
He compared the possible disaster to what occurred in 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
The Chernobyl disaster occurred after a safety test went wrong, making it unstable and leading to a chain reaction, exploding the reactor core. The nuclear cloud spread for around nine days throughout the region.
The exact death toll of the disaster is unknown, as while two people were killed in the original explosion itself, many more died throughout the following months from radiation poisoning and many more throughout the following years of cancer. According to a 2006 article published in the academic journal Nature, the death toll in the USSR alone was estimated to reach around 4,000, while extending into Western Europe, that number could be even higher, with some studies ranging from 16,000 to even 60,000.
But while the disaster itself is long gone, the damage continues to this day. As noted by Nature, many areas around the reactor and beyond are still affected by the radiation. The most prevalent type of radioactive isotope in the disaster, caesium-137, has a half-life of around 30 years, so much of the areas left abandoned by the blast could get better in the coming years, but many areas could be radioactive for centuries to come, like the 30 kilometer exclusion zone around the reactor itself.
And Russia, Zelensky argued, wants to repeat this.
‘This is the first time in the history of mankind that a state has resorted to nuclear terror,’ the president said, noting that no one has ever fired on nuclear power stations before.
In fact, according to Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, a nuclear disaster at Zaporizhzhia would be 10 times worse than what happened in Chernobyl.
A nuclear disaster at the Zaporizhzhia plant would spell catastrophe for all of Europe, he continued.
‘If there is an explosion, it’s the end of everything,’ Zelensky said. ‘Do not allow Europe to die from this catastrophe.’
Despite the shelling-induced fire, Ukraine’s regulatory body said ‘essential’ equipment was not damaged and radiation levels at the plant had not been changed.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called for a halt in hostilities due to the dangers of a nuclear disaster if the reactors were hit. IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said the plant is only operating at 60% at this time.
