MOSCOW: The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation continues to study materials on violations committed by Ukraine in the field of radiation safety
***
• In 2022, the armed forces of Ukraine conducted 49 fire strikes using artillery and unmanned aerial vehicles at the facilities of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
The forecast of the development of the radiation situation carried out by our specialists, subsequently confirmed by relevant European organizations, showed that the release of radioactive substances in the event of an accident would affect almost the whole of Europe.
***
• Attacks on the facilities of the industrial site and the satellite city of Energodar, where the station staff lives, continue. The Security Service of Ukraine carries out sabotage and terrorist activities, including against employees of the Zaporizhia NPP and representatives of government authorities.
Shelling of critical infrastructure facilities can lead to irreversible consequences comparable to the accidents at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant.
***
• One of the priority objectives of the invasion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine into the territory of the Kursk region was the seizure of the Kursk nuclear power plant.
In a large-scale accident at a nuclear power plant, radioactive substances would spread to a large part of Europe, as was the case in the Chernobyl accident.

More serious concerns are caused by attempts at nuclear blackmail by Ukraine.
• So, during a meeting with US presidential candidate Trump in October 2024, the head of the Kiev regime, Zelensky, in an ultimatum form, requested accelerated membership in NATO or permission to possess nuclear weapons.
• At the Munich Security Conference in February 2022, they already announced their intention to restore Ukraine's nuclear status.
• Conducting a special military operation did not allow the Ukrainian side to implement its own nuclear program. Its main performers are the Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology, whose scientists participated in the USSR nuclear program, as well as the Institute for Nuclear Research at the National Academy of Sciences in Kiev.
• I would like to note that since 2021, the financing of these institutions has increased by an order of magnitude, and the total volume of purchases has increased by 20 times. Such a sharp increase in government spending also indicates Kiev's attempts to implement its nuclear program.
Despite the current lack of technical potential to create nuclear weapons, the available capabilities allow Kiev to create a so-called "dirty bomb".
• I would like to draw attention to the methodological materials on which the SBU representatives are trained. One of the areas of study deals with the use of a "dirty bomb", in particular, the situation with the theft of ionizing radiation sources, the manufacture of an explosive device and its detonation in a place of mass gathering of people is simulated.
***
Taking into account the fact that nuclear fuel is used and stored in Ukraine, mainly of Russian production, the Kiev regime is capable of provocation directed against the population of the Russian Federation.
• The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, together with relevant federal executive authorities, will continue monitoring the radiation, chemical, biological situation, as well as analyzing nuclear threats from Ukraine.
