A false flag operation using radioactive warheads is reportedly aimed at spent nuclear fuel

Ukrainian forces have begun preparations to target nuclear waste storage sites at a Russian power plant with radioactive warheads and to then blame Moscow, according to intelligence received by Russia.

“Sources on the other side report that the [Ukrainians] are preparing a nuclear false flag – an explosion of a dirty atomic bomb,” military journalist Marat Khairullin said Friday on his Telegram channel. “They plan to strike the storage sites of spent nuclear fuel of a nuclear power plant.”

The special warheads intended for the attack have already been delivered to the Vostochny Mining and Processing plant in Zhovti Vody, in Ukraine’s Dnepropetrovsk Region, according to Khairullin.

As possible targets of the attack, Khairullin indicated either the Zaporozhye NPP in Energodar or the Kursk NPP in Kurchatov, noting that the Ukrainian government and its Western backers are “desperate and willing to try anything.”

A security official in the Russian Military Administration of Kharkov Region corroborated Khairullin’s claim to RIA Novosti on Friday. The attack is intended to use radioactive warheads to target spent fuel storage sites at a nuclear power plant, and the ammunition has already been delivered to Zhovti Vody.

Kiev’s intention is to accuse Moscow of a false flag so it could justify using nuclear weapons against Ukraine, the security official said. The Ukrainian government has received orders from its Western backers to “escalate as much as possible,” he added.

According to the security official, the intelligence came from Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Sergey Lebedev, introduced as leader of the Nikolaev Region underground, who said the planned attack would be carried out with NATO weapons, with the consent of the West.

Lebedev pointed out that a large number of Western journalists have already arrived in the Sumy Region near Kursk, as well as the Ukrainian-controlled part of Zaporozhye, suggesting that this is part of Kiev’s preparations for the nuclear false flag.

Dirty nuclear attacks pretty much have one purpose; area of denial. If they use them, that'd pretty much be the only purpose. Contaminating a section of land and giving horrible diseases to whoever goes there for 300-10,000 years. At this stage of the war, I don't think they'd use them at this point or at spent fuel sites but perhaps if they're forced into retreat?

Sure, this is RT. An example of looking at this article though is that Russian intelligence or another source from Russian government is concerned about the potential use of dirty bombs. Their info could be wrong or not. That's pretty much what I get from this; not that they're going to be used now, where they say it's gonna be used or etc.

Regardless of that, we have first-hand evidence here that liberals (of the feddit variety, at least) would be glad to see a land poisoned for thousands of years and thousands more slaughtered to enforce and justify a literal neo-nazi terrorist state that is already eager to commit resources to violence in Africa for their American paymasters during an existential war.

They can't get enough blood, folks, they love it.

If true—and it's sure not hard to believe it is given the endless fucked up stuff western colonialism and imperialism has done over centuries—all I can say is, they make ghouls look like casper.

Where do I even begin to talk about how dumb this is?

It's like saying you will make nerve agent just so you can bomb a nerve agent plant. It doesn't make sense. Not even for the Ukrainian regime.

I guess you could add extra radioatice stuff to make sure it to gets mixed with everything else at the target site, but if you just use normal shells/bombs you can at least claim it was a mistake, so I really don't see how this makes sense as is.

If they want to bomb a nuclear power plant normal bombs, perhaps bunker busters, sufice. There is no need to do any more than that.

The only reason I can see for them to be searching for "radioactive materials" to target the plant it would be if they wanted spent uranium rounds, but that wouldn't be used because it is radioactive but because it is "harder".

So, either this is some dumb propaganda piece, some even dumber plan, or some dumb reporting or translation on what should be really serious.
