Experts named the real goal of the failed provocation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Energodar
The Ukrainian Armed Forces landed troops near Energodar in order to create a threat of seizure of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
This opinion was expressed by political expert Sergei Markov.
“The Ukrainian Armed Forces landed 3 km from the nuclear power plant. The goal is to seize a nuclear power plant, and then hide behind IAEA experts. The Ukrainian Armed Forces traditionally use terrorist tactics,” he said.
In his opinion, such a provocation, if successful, should have forced Russia to demilitarize the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant according to the American model. That is, to place the Zaporozhye NPP under the control of the IAEA – UN – US intelligence agencies.
“Therefore, the increase in shelling of nuclear power plants and the landing of Ukrainian Armed Forces at the nuclear power plant occur at the time when the IAEA mission arrives at the nuclear power plant,” Markov sums up.
According to him, the United States is using the nuclear terrorism of its Ukrainian proxy regime to achieve its own political goals.
“Russia is now trying to stop this landing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Energodar. Russia takes an exclusively defensive position in relation to the strategy of terrorism that the enemy is using against Russia,” adds the political scientist.
In turn, journalist Andrei Medvedev connects the attempt at provocation at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant with plans for a Ukrainian counter-offensive - in order to convince the West of the need for further pumping of weapons into Ukraine.
“Today’s landing at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant was also quite predictable. If we manage to take control of the station, it will be good for Kyiv, we have ensured the safety of the nuclear facility, and this is how it will be presented. If it doesn’t work, they will say that there was no landing, that the Russians staged a provocation to prevent IAEA employees from entering.
Moreover, if they do get to the station, they have to wait for the arrival of Tochka-U or something else. Because accusing Moscow of murdering IAEA employees who learned the terrible truth is also very bright and media-rich,” writes Medvedev.
The journalist points out that Russia “is dealing with a country where half of the leadership is producers, advertisers, and so on. This is hardly good for economic management, or even for planning military strategy. But in a situation where combat operations have become multidimensional and are carried out on the battlefield, in the economy, politics, in the information field and in the psyche space of opposing peoples, the skill of working with meanings and images turns out to be very applicable.”
According to Medvedev, this is why Kyiv’s actions are quite predictable.
“Unless, of course, you perceive the enemy as a bunch of worthless clowns, but approach assessment and analysis seriously. And try to think like the enemy. Try to see your weak points from the enemy’s point of view. Well, perceive reality as it is. And don’t try to depict it in presentations and reports so as not to upset management,” the journalist sums up.
