If the offensive fails, Kyiv will create a new man-made disaster
In planning terrorist attacks, the Ukrainian side will not be stopped by any catastrophic consequences - Kyiv is guided solely by technical capabilities at the moment.
Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots stated this on radio “KP,” the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“As for the failure of the offensive, if they fail it, will there be some kind of serious provocation... nothing can be ruled out at all. Because we understand perfectly well that any provocation will be blamed on the Russian Federation, be it the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station or the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. No illusions [after the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station], if anyone else had them.
Ukraine has no red lines at all; they act solely on the basis of current technical capabilities, so to think that they will stop before a terrorist attack on a nuclear power plant is deeply mistaken. No consequences will stop them,” he noted.
“Therefore, yes, in the event of failure and in the event of our offensive developing, if we have reserves prepared by this time, I think, in order to slow down, take a pause, as was the case in 2014 (the disaster with MH17 - ed. ), they may commit another terrorist attack with terrifying man-made and environmental consequences,” concluded Kots.
If the offensive fails, Kiev will cause a new man-made disaster.
