Russia began to threaten the world with a "new Chernobyl". They hint that they might attack European nuclear power plants.

This is according to a statement by the deputy head of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, in his Telegram channel.

"What can you say... We should not forget that there are nuclear power plants in the European Union as well. And accidents are also possible there," Medvedev said.

It is also noticeable that the Russian official is "very unhappy" that the West does not believe the fictitious story of Russian propaganda that Ukraine is allegedly "shelling its Zaporizhzhia NPP itself."

"Kyiv scumbags and their Western patrons seem to be ready to arrange a new Chernobyl. Rockets and shells are lying ever closer to the Zaporizhzhia NPP reactor and radioactive isotope storage facilities. They say it is Russia. This is an obvious lie even for the obtuse Russophobe public...," Medvedev wrote.
