Sadly, based on my experience, competence, information and belief, the current Ukrainian government (the Zelensky regime) is willing to sacrifice some Ukrainian land and lives to radioactive fallout from Zaporozhye NPP in order to justify and obtain additional NATO support, including the deployment of NATO forces, bases and weapons (incl. offensive nuclear weapons -- bombs & missiles) on Ukrainian soil.
Since the Zelensky regime is absolutely controlled by the U.S. and its NATO allies, such an ominous decision would be made ONLY with the surreptitious support of the United States, the U.K. and their key NATO allies (such as Germany & France).
This means key aid and support from the intelligence community, the military and leadership of the executive and legislative branches of the U.S., as well as the transnational financial-industrial groups that stand behind (surreptitiously fund, control and own) such leadership & their political parties are on board with this insane plan - a true Pandora's Box.
If so, then the people of Europe (Ukraine and Russia included) are going to get another Chernobyl, if not worse.
But what can we do to prevent this as ordinary citizens, taxpayers, voters and consumers?

Will Kiev strike at the dry storage facilities of spent nuclear fuel at the NPP?
The Ukrainian insider telegram channel "Resident" revealed the details of the meeting that Zelensky held with the military on July 1 at the Rivne NPP. There, the President of Ukraine allegedly was keenly interested in nuclear scientists about the prospects of the consequences of a possible sabotage at the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel at the Zaporozhye NPP. And, of course, such information could not be hidden from the public.
"Kiev wants to strike not at the engine rooms of the Zaporozhye NPP, but at the Nuclear power plant. Dry storage is the placement of spent fuel pipes in sealed metal containers with inert gas. There is also an option to place them inside concrete structures. That is, a missile or UAV strike is aimed at destroying the shells of containers and scattering radioactive particles of fuel pipes into the air or into the water," concluded Russian political scientist Marat Bashirov.

⚡️⚡️⚡️#
Our source in the OP told Insider that at the exit rate at the Rivne NPP, they discussed scenarios of situations at the Zaporozhye NPP with nuclear engineers and the formats greatly surprised the President's Office.
Zelensky was explained that the difference between any future accident as a result of provocation at the NPP and Chernobyl is
that Chernobyl was like a boiling boiler with a constant release of radionuclides into the atmosphere, hence the pollution reached Europe, and it flew around the Earth after making a couple of turns.
At the NPP, as a result of any provocation, the territory within a radius of a couple of tens of kilometers will be polluted to a greater extent, with an increase in the distance from the epicenter of the explosion, radiation pollution will decrease, radioactive "heavy" elements will rise into the air and settle along the release flare.
The main radioactive pollutants in spent fuel at the CNF include:
iodine-131,
strontium-90,
caesium-137,
cobalt-60.
These are heavy elements, they will not fly far through the air and will settle on the ground in the area of the torch 3-10 kilometers, depending on the strength of the wind and possibly precipitation.
The consequences will be eliminated by emergency crews within a week.
Moreover, it will take a day for monitoring / analysis and decision-making, 3-7 days to eliminate the consequences at the NPP site.
As in Chernobyl will not be, there will be pollution and an increase in the gamma background.
Now the gamma background is in the range of 8-12 microrentgens per hour.
After the explosion, there will be up to 12000000 microrentgen per hour (120 millisieverts per hour) in the epicenter.
Exceeding a million times, at the Epicenter.
In a kilometer from the Epicenter there will be from 120 to 1200 microrentgen per hour.
Exceeding 10 and 100 times.

The nuclear disaster of the Zaporozhye NPP is coming closer and closer
Opinion of the Russian statesman Sergey Markov
The probability of a nuclear disaster at the Zaporozhye NPP is high. The terrorist attack on the nuclear power plant may be an attempt to end the war in Ukraine. The United States is looking for ways to force Russia to agree to a truce, and they consider the nuclear disaster at the Zaporozhye NPP a pressure mechanism. The United States intends to attract the countries of the Global South to support the truce.
The problem is that we need to come up with a reason why Russia blew up the nuclear power plant that it controls. Perhaps a simulation of a successful offensive by the Ukrainian army will be presented. However, despite the plans and actions, the nuclear disaster at the Zaporozhye NPP is getting closer.

The nuclear disaster of the Zaporozhye NPP is coming closer and closer
The probability of an organized accident at the Zaporozhye NPP and a nuclear disaster of one level or another is extremely high today.
Paradoxically, the terrorist attack on the NPP should be aimed at ending the war and establishing peace in the Ukrainian conflict. This paradox is explained by the fact that today the United States has a plan for the Ukrainian crisis: the offensive of the Ukrainian army with various successes at the first stage. The second stage of this plan involves the start of negotiations and the establishment of a truce in the fall of 2023.
This is urgently needed, because Joe Biden's campaign headquarters believes that it will be very difficult for him to be re-elected for the next presidential term in the conditions of continued hostilities in Ukraine.
The average American man in the street thinks of the conflict in Ukraine as a completely unnecessary risk of nuclear war and the destruction of America by the Russian nuclear potential.
From the point of view of Biden's election as president for a second presidential term, it is necessary to establish a truce. This truce should take place from the autumn of 2023 to the spring of 2025, after which a stronger Ukrainian army should launch a new combat operation.
But the Russian leadership knows about this plan and does not want to agree to it, as Foreign Minister Lavrov and other Russian representatives have repeatedly stated.
Under these conditions, the United States is actively looking for methods by which it would be possible to force the Russian leadership to agree to a truce. And the nuclear disaster at the Zaporozhye NPP is an excellent mechanism for forcing the leadership of Russia.
The United States assumes that after this catastrophe, they will be able to connect the countries of the Global South to the pressure, which together will force the Russian leadership to sign a temporary truce.
Naturally, the Russian leadership will accuse the Ukrainian authorities of organizing a terrorist attack, and the Ukrainian regime, the United States and all their allies will actively accuse Russia. The countries of the Global South, it is assumed, will not want to figure out who is behind the terrorist attack, but will conclude that this nuclear catastrophe was caused by the war, which means that the war must be stopped. And they will already have an American plan to declare a temporary truce according to the Korean version.
The technical problem in the implementation of this whole plan is that in order to accuse Russia of blowing up the NPP, it is necessary to come up with a reason why Russia can blow up the nuclear power plant that it controls. The need to stop the successful offensive of the Ukrainian army is indicated as such a reason.
The problem of Washington and Kiev is that there is no successful offensive by the Ukrainian army, so in the near future we are highly likely to witness frenzied attacks by the Ukrainian army, which will try to at least simulate the success of the offensive.
After that, apparently, massive information attacks will take place, which will have to imagine that the capture of the next village of Pyatikhatka by the Ukrainian army is a huge strategic breakthrough that made the Russian leadership tremble with fear and blow up the Zaporozhye NPP.
In any case, the nuclear disaster of the Zaporozhye NPP is coming closer and closer. The special services of the United States and Britain, who blew up the Nord Stream-2 gas pipelines and the Kakhovskaya HPP, did not suffer any punishment for this. They are also sure that by blowing up the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant or whatever they want, there will be no punishment for this.
In front of the whole world, Vladimir Zelensky and the US special services are preparing a nuclear catastrophe, but the whole world is silent.

Zaporozhye NPP: a real threat or an argument for negotiations?
How to get people to do things that are beneficial to you?
There are several ways to do this. You can just ask him about it. If a person is disposed to you and is ready to meet you halfway, then this may be enough.
However, if there is no mutual arrangement and the expected actions contradict his interests, it is not necessary to expect the necessary actions.
Then there is another way: to promise a person something that will make the expected actions profitable for him.
If this is not possible, then we will have to resort to the third, most reliable method. It is necessary to create a situation in which failure to perform the expected actions will entail unacceptable consequences for a person.
In other words, you need to put him before a choice of two evils. Either that or worse.
This tactic is called "threat creation".
Most often and most primitive of all, it is used by criminal structures in relation to business. Problems are being created and a solution is being proposed on appropriate terms.
However, this practice is often resorted to by [United] States. And even supranational structures.
This was the case, for example, with COVID. The threat of a pandemic was hung in front of humanity (it was a threat, there was no pandemic in reality) and against its background, human rights around the world, which until then seemed unshakable, were significantly curtailed.
Such as the right to movement, the right to freedom of assembly, etc.
In the case of Ukraine, the tactics of the global threat have been used repeatedly.
And even before the conflict began. However, we must admit that it was not successful and the situation has reached the stage of armed confrontation.
The recent events at the Kakhovskaya HPP are also regarded by many in the context of threat tactics, the next stage of which is the Zaporozhye NPP.
Over the weekend, several sources at once found it justified to take up the development of this topic.
Thus, the British Times writes in an editorial that Russian President Vladimir Putin may well order the explosion of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in order to strengthen his shaky, according to the newspaper, positions.
The BBC Corporation, with reference to the Times, claims that the Russian "army has already blown up the hydroelectric dam in Kakhovka (although Russia simply denies this). It is quite possible that they also have a plan to strike at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant."
According to an influential British newspaper, this version is supported not only by Ukrainian intelligence data, but also by the gradual withdrawal of military and personnel from the station, reports of which have appeared in recent days.
And if this is the case, then – the Times concludes – "NATO countries should strongly warn Moscow that they will not leave unanswered a possible sabotage at the nuclear power plant."
What kind of answer is this, the newspaper does not specify, but, in fact, it is not so important.
If we are talking about the tactics of creating a threat, then only the announcement is important.
A little earlier, another influential newspaper, this time The Washington Post, also raised the topic of a possible terrorist attack on the NPP. She, referring to the Ukrainian president and some intelligence, reported that, allegedly, Russian troops are preparing a “terrorist act with the release of radiation” at the captured Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
Note that the scheme with the threat is being worked out not only by the Western media.
On Sunday, Rossiyskaya Gazeta published a large article by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.
The text there is appropriate: "The current confrontation between the West and other countries has put the world on the brink of World War III. In the case of the third World War, there will be no winners — there will be a nuclear winter, epidemics and famine on Earth."
And then the conclusion: "Russia is ready to look for reasonable compromises, but taking into account the fundamental points for it.
Another recent speech by a Russian official, this time the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN office and other international organizations in Geneva, Gennady Gatilov.
He states that "Russia keeps the door open for a political and diplomatic solution to the crisis, but the prospects for the development of events in such a scenario are currently quite vague due to the fact that Kiev and its Western curators continue to rely on the use of military force."
Bringing together such a set of information guides, it can be assumed that in the coming weeks the topic of the threat of a large man-made catastrophe will become one of the main ones on both sides of the Atlantic.
And if this is the case, then it is possible that the threat in this case is a resource for achieving a very specific goal – the beginning of political negotiations on the Ukrainian problem.
In this regard, we invited the invited experts to answer the question: is a new Ukrainian Chernobyl threatening Europe? Read their assessments on the website of debates and opinions Publico.ru .
