DISINFO: Ukraine is preparing an attack on nuclear facilities in Russia

SUMMARY

Ukraine is preparing for a missile attack on Russia’s nuclear facilities and is creating 200 missiles to launch a nuclear explosion in Russia. Ukraine, once again, admitted to the whole world that it is a traditionally terrorist country.

RESPONSE

Recurring narrative about aggressive Ukraine – read similar cases in which it is stated that Ukraine trains terrorists for European and Middle Eastern operations and that US and British instructors teach Ukrainians to carry out terror acts. Russian media materials are based on the interviews of political expert Taras Zagorodniy with the Glavred website. Among other topics, the analyst talked about the security of Ukraine and the country's achievements in the defence sector. According to him, during the war with Russia, Ukraine has achieved significant success in rocket science, but this is not enough to create a full-fledged restraining shield from Russian aggression. Zagorodniy did not call on Ukraine to “arrange a nuclear explosion” on the territory of Russia, but just assumed that Ukrainian missiles could warn the Kremlin against further destabilising actions in Ukraine.
