Russian secret service: Ukraine uses nuclear power plants as weapons storage facilities

The Russian foreign intelligence service (SVR) accuses Ukraine of stationing weapons supplied by the West on the site of nuclear power plants to protect against destruction.

Kiev’s calculus is that the Russian troops will not strike at the nuclear power plants because of the danger of a nuclear catastrophe, said the head of the foreign intelligence service, Sergey Naryshkin, in Moscow on Monday. The SWR data cannot be checked. Naryshkin claimed that there was credible evidence that Himar-type multiple rocket launchers and large-caliber artillery were housed there.

In the last week of December, railway wagons with the “deadly cargo” were brought to the Rivne nuclear power plant via the Rafalivka railway station in western Ukraine, it said. SWR did not present any evidence. “If there is a large detonation and a nuclear power plant is destroyed, for example, by a new misdirection of a missile by the Ukrainian air defense system, the blame for the tragedy is always blamed on Moscow,” said the SWR report.
