Avast, me hearties! Ye scurvy Russia spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, be blabberin' that the NATO summit needs to chatter 'bout Ukraine's supposed treachery against the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. Arrr, let's gather 'round the rum barrels 'n have a jolly good laugh at her claims!
Russia's Foreign Ministry has issued a warning ahead of the NATO summit in Lithuania, urging attendees to discuss the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. The ministry claims that if a disaster were to occur at the facility, the majority of NATO members would be within the direct impact zone. In a Telegram message, Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman accused Ukraine of plotting to damage the plant, which is currently occupied by Russian troops. Last week, both Ukraine and Russia accused each other of planning an imminent attack against the plant. Ukrainian intelligence reported that Russian forces were pulling out of the area surrounding the plant. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy believes that Russia is planning a local explosion to create fear of a global nuclear disaster and halt military action. The International Atomic Energy Agency stated that experts have observed no visible indications of mines or explosives at the plant. The NATO summit, which will be attended by President Biden, is expected to address the issue of admitting Sweden as a member and continued support for Ukraine. Biden has spoken against granting Ukraine NATO membership at this time, as it could escalate the conflict with Russia. Zelenskyy alleges that Russian troops placed objects resembling explosives on the roof of the plant's power units to simulate an attack. The UN atomic watchdog has repeatedly warned of the potential for a radiation catastrophe at the Zaporizhzhia plant, which has been targeted multiple times during the ongoing war. The plant's reactors have been shut down to minimize the risk.
