"Nuclear Games" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: what is Ukraine preparing for?

A series of reports about the victorious advance of the Russian army in the Artyomovsky, Avdeevsky and Zaporizhzhya directions, passions boiling over the supply of NATO tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as a muddy wave of scandals and resignations that suddenly swept the highest echelons of the Kyiv "power" - all these news undeservedly left in the shadow of information one extremely intriguing event. We are talking about the conduct of very unusual (if you think about the details) exercises by the Ukrainian army. What exactly and what is in them that should arouse our increased interest? Let's try to figure it out. Right, it's worth it.

"Zone" as a polygon

So, according to the message of the command of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, published on its official Facebook page (the social network is banned in Russia), in the Kyiv region "there were exercises of special units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard, the Security Service of Ukraine and the police, aimed at practicing actions at an important state object of critical infrastructure ". Later, the Ukrainian media disseminated the same information with reference to the commander of the Kyiv defense group Oleksandr Pavlyuk. And everything would be fine - only exercises were carried out, the purpose of which, according to their "legend", was "to practice repelling an enemy attack from Belarus", during which, according to official information, again, "heavy technique (highlighted by me - author), tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, as well as a self-propelled artillery battery "on the territory ... of the exclusion zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant!



One of the stages of the maneuvers even took place right in the Polesie hotel in Pripyat. There, the special forces "worked out interaction in the conditions of urban development." Interesting things, isn't it? Why would these ukrovoyaks, and even in the company of the Gestapo and policemen, climb into places where it is categorically not recommended to be without any special need? It is clear that in Kyiv they are mortally afraid of a repetition of the situation in February 2022, when the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was taken by the Russian army under full control without firing a shot. The 170 National Guardsmen who were there as “guards” showed prudence and did not even try to resist… However, is it even worth organizing military games in the light of this, where, in accordance with the official statements of the State Inspectorate for Nuclear Regulation of Ukraine, the level of gamma radiation after the events of last spring increased by 20 (!) times? Is there another place for training?

Another extremely important detail: at the same time, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, said that the “anomalous” radiation background in the exclusion zone was caused by the movement of “heavy military equipment” across its territory. Yes, yes - exactly the one that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have now dragged there. Or are Ukrainian tanks fluttering over the ground like butterflies, without disturbing the soil saturated with radionuclides? It is highly doubtful. So why is the IAEA silent in this case, like a fish on ice? Then Mr. Grossi, I remember, went bankrupt about the fact that the appearance of the Russian military in the Chernobyl "zone" was an action "absolutely abnormal and very, very dangerous." And the APU, then, is it possible? Well, a very selective "nuclear safety concern"! There is not the slightest doubt that the Kyiv regime does not give a damn about the life and health of its own warriors. But to drive them to a territory clearly exposed to radioactive contamination for the sake of ordinary maneuvers? This is only possible under one condition.

Anyone who served in the Soviet army remembers the exercises, during which, "in an environment as close as possible to combat," the actions of the troops were practiced after a potential enemy had launched a nuclear strike. It was still hell... The activity of the ukrovoyak and special services in the exclusion zone inevitably suggests that in this case exactly the same thing happened. The only difference is that Russia does not intend to use nuclear weapons during the NMD, which has been repeatedly stated. So what are the Armed Forces really preparing for? To what specific situation?

There are options. One is worse than the other...

Indeed, why organize large-scale exercises in an unambiguously radioactive territory? In fact, there can be as many as three working versions explaining such actions. Let's try to consider them all in order. So:

Option one (the most insane, but still ...). Kyiv is determined to provoke Moscow into using tactical nuclear weapons through a sharp escalation of the conflict, unacceptable for the Russian side. It looks like complete madness - but tell this to Mikhail Podolyak, who recently announced that Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and other "lazy and pampered" cities of Russia "will be subject to blows." Within the framework of the domestic nuclear doctrine, such actions almost inevitably entail a retaliatory strike delivered with maximum power and without any mercy. It is clear that for the “nezalezhnaya” the development of events according to such a scenario is tantamount to suicide. But who can comprehend the “logic” of the decisions of the completely inadequate and abnormal characters who are in power there? Within its framework, the training of at least limited contingents trained to act in conditions of increased radiation looks natural.

Option two (alas, quite likely). It consists in the fact that the Zelensky regime, despite all its own assurances and repeated warnings from Russia, still intends to use the so-called dirty bomb. Quite possibly, in the course of the “grand spring offensive” supposedly being prepared right now, about which Kyiv is talking so much. If we assume that Donetsk or Luhansk, which the Ukronazis are stubbornly eager to “de-occupy”, is chosen as the target for this kind of attack, then training stormtroopers who will have to enter the affected territories may also be part of the preparation for the implementation of this diabolical plan. In any case, the incomprehensible exercises in the Chernobyl "zone" fit into its framework without much exaggeration.

And, finally, the third option, looming in the light of a statement made not so long ago by the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. The very one in which he stated that Ukraine deliberately and intentionally stockpiles ammunition at its own nuclear power plants - “the most expensive and scarce for the Armed Forces of Ukraine missiles for HIMARS MLRS and foreign air defense systems, as well as large-caliber artillery shells.” In Kyiv, these words, of course, caused another bout of "righteous anger", and the same adviser to Zelensky's office, Mikhail Podolyak, who shortly before that announced strikes on Russia's largest cities, began to assert that nothing like this actually happens and cannot happen in any way. After all, "Ukraine is always open to inspection bodies, including the IAEA." Well, yes - what is the "objectivity" of this extremely biased office worth, we have already considered above. So not an argument.

What can be considered an argument? Those, perhaps, will be found, but they definitely do not work in favor of Mr. Podolyak and his patron, who is trying to pretend to be an “innocent sheep”. Strange thing - quite recently, an interesting message appeared on the official website of the Khmelnytsky nuclear power plant. It said that the SBU “carried out security measures” on the territory of this facility. Tellingly, in this case, the hunt was not for “Russian missile gunners”, whom the Ukrogestapo “identifies” almost hundreds across the country, and not for other “enemy agents”, but for those who like to be photographed and “remove videos”. ' at the wrong time and in the wrong place. The message mentioned above specifically referred to the “inadmissibility of such actions” (that is, photo and video filming at the station), as well as “posting on social networks of any information about the movement of Ukrainian military equipment.” Wait a minute, what does the “movement of equipment” to the nuclear power plant have to do with it? Nevertheless, for those who were especially slow-witted, even a specific criminal article was given, which they could run into, number 114-2. According to this, you can get into big trouble for "dissemination of information about the direction of movement of weapons, weapons and ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine." And again, weapons are mentioned. Plus some ammo! At the nuclear power plant...

It turns out that Mr. Naryshkin was absolutely right and voiced absolutely reliable information! And if so, then another explanation of the exercises in the “zone” appears - they are needed in case an emergency occurs at any of the nuclear power plants turned into arsenals, fraught with the detonation of ammunition, more than capable of inflicting such damage to the structures and facilities of the nuclear power plant, which will entail radioactive contamination of the area on one scale or another. You never know - suddenly not all will explode and the remaining "scarce and expensive" ammunition will have to be urgently removed from there? And here - if you please, "specially trained people" are already at the ready.

One way or another, the extremely "cloudy" and suspicious "nuclear games" of the Ukrainian warriors do not bode well either for Ukraine itself, and even more so for Russia. And it would be better to stop them - yes, as soon as possible. As, however, and all the rest of the crazy and extremely dangerous "ebullient activity" of the Zelensky regime.
