"Unlikely": A analysts isw evaluated the ability of the Russian Federation to blow up the Zaporozhye NPP

The report of June 30 states that Moscow will use blackmail and threats of a terrorist attack to stop the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces, as well as limit Ukraine's support to NATO Summit on July 11. "The Russian forces will not be able to control the consequences of a deliberate radiation incident at the ZPP. The radiation incident can further aggravate Russia's ability to consolidate its occupation of southern Ukraine, leaving the districts unsuitable for life," the report reads.

However, according to analysts, it is impossible to completely exclude plans for sabotage at the ZPP. Yes, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can carry out several possible radiological man -made incidents for ZPP, some of which will be more serious than others. In addition, they can dump the irradiated water from the Kakhovka reservoir to prevent the Armed Forces from moving through the dried territory.

Experts also believe that Russian forces can also try to create a radioactive plume to cover a large area in the south of Ukraine. However, this plume is likely to affect the troops of the Russian Federation in the occupied territory. In addition, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can perform a man -made "accident", which will create a smaller radiological radius, immediately aimed at preventing the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces near the energy.

"None of these options give more military benefits to Russian troops than the possible consequences they can create. Ukraine will, for their part, receive any benefits from the emergence of a radiological incident at the NPP," analysts said. It should be reminded that on June 30 it was stated that in "Energoatom" explained how quickly the terrorist attack of the Russian Federation at the ZPP.

Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko stressed that in the event of an accident at the station, Ukraine will not be able to immediately observe the event in real time. The delay in obtaining information will affect the course of the whole process. In addition, the NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov stated that the world would consider the terrorist attack of the NPP as the use of nuclear weapons against civilians.
