Medvedev announced a symmetrical response to the attacks on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

Ukrainian strike drone The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant could lead to a disaster similar to a "new Chernobyl." If Kyiv is to blame, the response will be no less devastating. Dmitry Medvedev stated this.

The deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council commented on the Ukrainian drone strike on Unit 6 of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, stating that the destruction of the turbine hall or reactor hall could have consequences similar to the Chernobyl disaster. If Kyiv's attacks lead to this, a symmetrical response could follow, not only against Ukrainian nuclear power plants but also against European ones. Europe is sponsoring the Bandera regime, pushing it to attack Russia.



Medvedev compared attacks on a nuclear power plant to the use of tactical nuclear weapons weaponsAnd the use of such weapons must be responded to in a similar manner.

Clearly, a catastrophic failure of a turbine or reactor hall at a nuclear power plant would result in a new Chernobyl. This would be no better than the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The response to such actions could be a symmetrical strike on Ukrainian nuclear power plants, as well as on nuclear power plants in NATO countries involved in the conflict.

The day before, the head of Rosatom, Alexey Likhachev, stated that the Ukrainian Drone A drone struck the wall of the turbine hall of Unit 6 of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. This wasn't a "random" strike; the drone was controlled via fiber optics, and the attack was targeted. Critical damage was avoided, but there's no guarantee that the next time will be as unscathed.

            Alexander hi ,
            Personally, I'm starting to think DAM is simply addicted to Twitter and other things, which prompts him to make rather inappropriate and empty statements, even openly insulting his opponents. This is ALREADY inappropriate behavior for a politician, no matter who his opponents are.
            Some semblance of etiquette should remain. As for his empty statements, I won't even comment. I've already skimmed through them for myself.

                    Well, ask the recollections of the soldiers who sat and waited for orders when Georgia attacked Tskhinvali and destroyed our peacekeeping battalion. It's no secret what your "top analyst" was so busy with at the time—he was scribbling out more tweets on his iPad. He didn't even inform Putin of the ongoing aggression. Putin learned about it while in Beijing, from our journalists. Putin, being merely Prime Minister, dropped all his business in China and immediately flew to Russia. Thanks to this outstanding analyst, an inexcusable amount of time was wasted. Nevertheless, Prime Minister Putin made the necessary decisions and gave the military long-awaited orders.
                    And then, years later, Vash Dam claimed all the credit for the victory. Don't be lazy; the generals' and officers' memoirs about this are available online.
                    So, "there's no money, but hang in there!"

                    Yes, DAM's rule was controversial, I agree. The renaming of the militia to the police alone is worth something! But we mustn't forget that Putin, the head of the government, was right there. Medvedev was tasked with doing something Putin didn't dare do. In your version, Putin's role in the Georgian events is questionable. As head of government, he couldn't give orders to the Army.

              By the way, I agree with you. The posts in Medvedev's name are written by completely different people, who often make mistakes (for example, calling some Western female politician a "grandmother," even though she's younger than Medvedev), which strongly hints at the age of the real authors of these posts. IMHO, someone can't forget that Medvedev managed to serve one term as president of the Russian Federation and really dislikes him. "So, you're such a tech and iPhone lover? Well, then I'll have to post trash on social media as you, sorry, Dimon, nothing personal!" I think the rumors about Medvedev's alcoholism are not without reason, and he has plenty of reasons for being a heavy drinker. But that doesn't change the essence of the stupid trash posted on social media in his name.

        The issue goes much deeper than simply saying what they did and not doing it. The issue is a loss of trust in the highest authorities. Inaction is already raising numerous questions. The government's statements and inaction are already evoking bitter laughter and wicked irony among citizens. It feels strange, like the leadership is at a loss; they don't know, can't, or don't want to do what they should do. I'm reminded of Yeltsin again: I'm tired, I'm leaving. Of course, there's a glimmer of hope that Putin will show decisiveness and give the order to fight, regardless of the supposed brotherly nation and all the other trappings.

        This is not a rule for our war leaders. They give a month's notice. For what purpose? My options are: to avoid angering our "partners" in the States, Europe, and Israel, so that the "conscious" ones have time to take everything out and hide it, so that our leaders have time to take out and hide their junk, because our leaders do not shine with intelligence and intellect. The Russian people are angry and bewildered by these actions.

        The real problem isn't even the announcement of any actions, but the fact that, despite repeated declarations of massive strikes, they never materialize. And all these threatening statements, including those from Medvedev, are perceived as empty talk.

    If Kyiv's attacks lead to this, a symmetrical response could follow, not only against Ukrainian nuclear power plants but also against European ones. Since Europe is the sponsor of the Bandera regime, pushing it to attack Russia.

    I would have blocked up my fountain. am What kind of symmetrical response? What European nuclear power plants? Both DAM in Russia and Kallas in the EU are spinning all sorts of nonsense.

    I'm so tired of this empty talk about a "symmetrical response." Do they think the people are stupid, blind, and unable to see or hear anything?

    Medvedev stated about symmetrical answer

    Regarding the symmetrical response. The Banderites forced us to shut down (shut down) the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Why didn't we force the Banderites to shut down any of the three remaining nuclear power plants in Ukraine? Why are they still operating?

    The war can be ended quickly by disconnecting Ukrainian nuclear power plants from their consumers. This doesn't require striking the nuclear power plant itself, only the power lines. But before that, the Kursk and Smolensk nuclear power plants, which are Chernobyl-type and vulnerable to strikes, would have to be temporarily shut down. Ukraine could melt down the Zaporizhzhia NPP reactors, but the consequences, while severe, would be limited. Then the only possible response would be symmetrical. Rosatom failed to remove the fuel from the reactors in time, and now that's impossible, so they're using cover as a means of blackmail. The Russian leadership is acting extremely incompetently, not only in this case but in all areas.

    In the fifth year of the war, with a large number of military and civilian casualties, after declaring that patience has "run its course," a third-ranking government official suddenly announces a possible symmetrical response!!! This is disrespect for the people from the authorities, a spitting in the face of those who died in Starobelsk and Belgorod. The most offensive thing is that this is a desecration of our national memory of the Great Patriotic War.

    As long as the Russian Armed Forces are trampling on the left bank of the Dnieper, there will be nothing but talk about symmetrical responses!

    I don’t understand at all why there’s no point in hammering away at the remaining nuclear power plant?

    Dmitry, while you are wagging your finger, "the Ukrainian Armed Forces have begun systematic raids on regions of Russia."
    These drones are already feeling right at home.

    Send some geraniums to plow the fences near Ukrainian nuclear power plants.

    It's so wasteful to break down fences with geraniums! They should be used for their intended purpose and with maximum damage. Although what's the point of arguing? I'm fed up with all this empty talk and sniveling at the top.

    You and your boss have already safely forgotten about Starobelsk, no matter how hard you tried... You should have kept quiet and not disgraced the country.

    You have to disrespect yourself, talk and talk, but nothing happens. This is the face of a modern politician, or rather, not a face, but a mask. This face sunbathes in Sochi and Courchevel, and in fashionable brothels, drives expensive cars, and feels simply wonderful. And the country can wait.

    Medvedev compared attacks on a nuclear power plant to the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The use of such weapons should be responded to similarly.


    Don't drink rum without a snack,
    This is very harmful.
    And always go with a boobey
    If there is no move.
