This story just keeps getting weirder, and weirder.
Prigo starts a rebellion. Putin accuses him of treason. Rebellion over as quickly and as suddenly as it started. Prigo gets 'exiled' to Belarus. Russian TV goes through great pains to discredit Prigo, after he made the boss look helpless and weak. Prigo is somehow allowed to wander around St Petersburg and Moscow unhindered so he can go pick up cash and some stuff. And now we learn Prigo and Putin had a pow-wow 5 days after the show?
Something's fucking fishy, here.
- Now they’re in Belarus, ready to invade from the North, could it be this was all one convoluted plot to maneuver them there?_niko
- Maybe. But ... why? Surely there had to have been far simpler ways to accomplish the same result?Continuity

(Breaking) Kremlin warns of possible 'catastrophic' Ukraine nuclear plant provocation
The Kremlin warned Wednesday that Kyiv could be preparing a provocation at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, a flashpoint of concern in the conflict in Ukraine.
- Desperate times call for desperate measures.pablo28
- The counter-offensive is a complete failurepablo28
- and of course you believe the ruzzians. who also planted explosives in the dam and now the same at the nuclear plant.NBQ00
- There will be no reckless bravery. The counter-offensive will be sadistically methodical. Zaluzhny promised to kill of them, his plan is only starting to emergedrgs

- What 4d chess is it for Russians to blow up their own pipeline? Blow up their own dam?And now their own nuclear plant? Neocons and NeoLiberals want war.IRNlun6

Zaporizhzhia NPP has been mined by Russian troops since the first weeks of its capture, according to an anonymous employee of the NPP who is still working there and has been interviewed by
@suspilne_news
. Russian forces are constantly present inside the station, a lot of weapons and ammunition are stored there. Risks of a blowup exist since it has been captured. Creation of such risks is not only a violation of IHL, but also blackmail of the whole world.- how you nuke Ukraine without actually nuking Ukraine_niko

‘Starve, Stretch and Strike’: Ukraine’s Summer Offensive Strategy
The latest views of experts and evidence compiled by Kyiv Post, increasingly suggests that Ukraine’s “slow” offensive progress is an intentional tactic aimed at exacting a high Russian toll.
https://www.kyivpost.com/post/19…The Russians which are going to die in the coming months are already dead, or let's say -- have already been sacrificed by Putin. Zaluzhnyi, whose plan is only now starting to emerge, is only an instrument which will make it happen.
Without cheap oratorical tricks, this modest, unassuming, chubby Ukrainian, is a true envoy from the highest authority of the world, a bearer of a secret message, a message about Death, about the strange dignity of what has left the realm of transformations.
It seems that his whole being is intensely peering into the impenetrable dark horizon.
Valerii Zaluzhny, the silent messenger of Death.

Important to highlight that, Russia, is once again saying that Ukraine is going to attack the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant using high-precision weapons and kamikaze drones on the night of July 5th.
This is not the first time that both sides have claimed that something "explosive" will occur at the power plant nor will it likely be the last, especially if "something" doesn't occur there soon.
There are "reports" of Russian mobile radiation laboratories on the move in Mariupol and Enerhodar.
There were claims for months that Nova Kakhovka Dam was going to be destroyed, due to explosives being planted inside, but the claims were dismissed till it finally happened.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine informed that the Russians may prepare provocations at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in the near future:
"Today, unknown devices similar to explosive charges were placed on the outer roof of the third and fourth power units of the ZNPP. Their detonation should not damage the power units, but it may create an image of a shelling by Ukrainian forces. Russian media and Telegram channels report such actions of their military, too."
Meanwhile the Russians are claiming that Ukraine will attack the nuclear plant with missiles tomorrow night.

- they just won't stop with that narrative.
even if washington and the IAEA denied those claims last month.uan - You realize it's the Russians who are saying Ukraine will attack the plant while they placed explosives there. Just like with the dam.NBQ00
