For the legal entry of NATO into the conflict, a provocation is being prepared at the ZNPP. This was stated by the adviser to the head of Rosenergoatom Renat Karchaa.

The official said that the counter-offensive of the AFU drowned out, and for the West the defeat of Kiev in this conflict is their defeat: “They understand that Ukraine will not pull out...”

Karchaa believes that the only way out will be direct military support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield: “A provocation at the nuclear power plant is not excluded.” The incident would create a legal “gateway” for Western (NATO, in particular) legal involvement in the conflict.
