 Russians prepare large-scale provocation at Zaporizhia nuclear plant. Ukraine's Defence Intelligence has reported that Russian invaders are preparing a large-scale provocation to simulate an accident at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant. According to Defence Intelligence, it will be carried out directly on the territory of the nuclear power plant. After that, the invaders will announce an emergency leak of radioactive substances. Ukraine will, as ever, be blamed for the incident. In order to conceal what they are doing as much as possible, the Russians have disrupted the International Atomic Energy Agency, permanent monitoring mission, personnel, rotation scheduled for the 26th of May, Defence Intelligence notes. The purpose of this action is to provoke the international community into conducting a detailed investigation during which all hostilities will be suspended. In this way, the invaders hope to gain a much-desired pause which they will use to regroup their ranks and stop the Ukrainian counter-offensive the intelligence officers summed up. The Zaporizhia plant, which lies in an area of Russian-occupied southern Ukraine, is Europe's biggest nuclear power station and the area has been repeatedly hit by shelling with both sides blaming each other for the dangerous attacks. Ahead of Ukraine's expected counter-offensive, fears have increased that a nuclear disaster could occur amid rising military activity around Zaporizhia.
