‘We have the protective suits’: Kremlin propagandist says forces will fight through a nuclear disaster
.
Russian state television propagandist Vladimir Solovyov on Thursday accused Ukraine of shelling the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Solovyov also boasted that Russian soldiers are prepared for combat duty in the event of nuclear fallout.
“Our military has just shown that you’re shelling the nuclear plant with 155-millimeter artillery and other NATO thingies, and like fools, you are yelling that the Russians are shelling at themselves with NATO weapons. Are you cretins? If it blows we have the protective suits and we will not stop military actions. Our Army was taught to fight under conditions of contamination,” Solyvov said.
The facility – continental Europe’s largest – was captured in the early days of President Vladimir Putin’s offensive February 24th invasion and has been occupied by Russian forces ever since. And despite warnings of the dangers as well as demands by the United Nations to allow international inspectors to secure the facility, intermittent fighting around Zaporizhzhia in the outskirts of the city of Enerhodar has already caused non-critical damage to the structure. Russia and Ukraine have been exchanging blame for the perilous bombardments.

But concerns have swelled among Ukrainian intelligence officials of “massive Russian provocations” around and on Zaporizhzhia as soon as Friday. Such an action could release radiation from spent fuel rods or live fission reactors on a scale that would dwarf the deadly April 26th, 1986 accident at Chernobyl, which rendered 2,600 square kilometers of Ukraine and Belarus uninhabitable for centuries.
