Last minute: Ukrainian authorities announced that Russia has a terrible plan for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which was seized on the first day of the invasion. While Vladimir Putin allegedly plans to blame Ukrainian soldiers to justify and further escalate the ongoing conflict, Russia is said to have stockpiled the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers to launch a “false flag” attack on the Chernobyl nuclear facility. According to the news in the Daily Star; in the statement, “Russian ‘car-refrigerators’ collecting the corpses of dead Ukrainian soldiers were spotted near Antonov airport in Hostomel. They are likely to be presented as ‘saboteurs killed in the Chernobyl area’.” it was said.
On the other hand, while the technicians at the said plant are held at gunpoint by the Russian occupying soldiers, they work day and night for the maintenance of the facility.
