West plotting false flag operation on ZNPP to make villain out of Russia — SVR
06 November 2025 12:59 (UTC +04:00)
The West is plotting a false flag operation on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), hoping to vilify Russia, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said in a statement seen by TASS, APA reports.
"The West is getting ready to create an accident at the Zaporozhye NPP and then pin the blame on Russia. The press bureau of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service reported, citing incoming data that NATO’s European allies have called on the Kyiv regime to find a way to reverse the course of the Ukraine conflict, which is making Westerners look bad, and its perception in the West as soon as possible," the SVR revealed. "As the most effective way of achieving this goal, a proposal was made to conduct a major act of sabotage affecting Ukrainians and EU citizens, similar to the 2014 crash involving the MH17 Malaysian flight," the SVR warned.

The report said that under consideration is a plan to deliberately sabotage the plant, resulting in a meltdown of its nuclear reactor cores. "The influential British NGO Chatham House has assessed the potential impact from a nuclear accident. Computer modeling, which took into account prevailing wind patterns and air mass movements, suggested that residents in Kyiv-controlled regions and populations of EU countries near Ukraine’s western border could be caught in the path of radioactive fallout," the SVR stressed.
"The collective West is again ready to deceive and even kill Ukrainians and citizens in Western countries in order to blame Russia for crimes committed by the Kyiv regime so as to justify their Russophobic policies and warmongering efforts," the SVR concluded.
Scientists simulate spread of radiation in case of accident at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant
OLENA ROSHCHINA – THURSDAY, 18 AUGUST 2022, 12:53
Based on the weather conditions observed on 15-18 August, in the case of an accident at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), radioactive contamination would principally affect Ukraine, but it would also affect neighbouring countries. Such an accident would threaten not only Kyiv, but also the occupied territories of Donbas.

Details: Scientists of the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine performed a simulation of the spread of radiation from a hypothetical accident at the Zaporizhzhia NPP under the meteorological conditions of 15-18 August 2022.
The results of modelling the atmospheric transfer and dispersion of radioactive Cs-137 aerosols were obtained using the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) ARW version 4.3 forecasting meteorological model and the CALMET-CALPUFF version 6 atmospheric dispersion modelling complex.
The WRF forecast of meteorological conditions was calculated on the basis of GFS (global forecast data) with a spatial resolution of 0.5° and a time resolution of 3 hours. Radioactive emissions are given in the form of two-point sources at heights of 200m and 500m above the earth's surface, with a total stationary power of 1 becquerels/second (0.5 Bq/s for each sources). The following characteristics of the size distribution for radioactive aerosols were used: average diameter 1 μm, standard deviation 2 μm.
Given the impossibility of determining the exact characteristics of the source of emissions in the event of a hypothetical accident at the ZNPP, the results of numerical modelling should be interpreted only qualitatively and in relative terms.
Quote:
"According to the results of the calculations, during 15-18 August 2022, the highest concentrations of radioactive aerosols can be observed within the territory of Ukraine, especially in the zone closest to the emission source, with a radius of 50-100 km in almost all directions from the ZNPP.
Significant concentrations of radionuclides could reach the city of Kyiv.
Partially radioactive impurities might also spread to the neighbouring states (the eastern part of Belarus, Poland, the Baltic States).
At the end of the simulated period, the main direction of radionuclide transport was eastward, as a result of which significant concentrations of radioactive aerosols could be observed over the occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions."
Background:
- In the early stage of the full-fledged war, Russia seized the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and on March 4, it captured the Zaporizhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), creating risks of a radioactive disaster. In late March, the occupiers blew up part of their ammunition on the ZNPP premises.
- On 15 July, Ukraine’s Energoatom company stated that Russians placed missile systems at the ZNPP territory, using them to attack Nikopol.
- Starting on 5 August, attacks on ZNPP followed, with Ukraine blaming the occupying forces and Russia blaming Ukrainian defenders.
- The UN urged the sides to stop military action near the ZNPP, and the international community called on Russia to leave the premises of the nuclear power plant.
- On 18 August, the Russian Defence Ministry claimed that a "massive provocation" could occur on 19 August, during the visit by the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, to Ukraine. Russia’s Armed Forces also threatened to shut down the ZNPP if shooting continues.
