Ukraine has accused Russia of planning a “false flag” attack at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.Last month, local Kursk authorities accused Ukraine of attempting a drone attack on the nuclear power plant.
"Preparations for evacuation from the zone of possible radioactive contamination in the event of an accident at the nuclear power plant are underway in the Kursk region," the center said on Tuesday, adding that evacuations are planned for 21,000 to 57,000 people. This is"despite the fact that the population of the region is more than 1 million people, and Kursk itself is 435,000. That is, it is about 5 percent of the population of the regions, which indicates that those on the list were 'selected'," the center said.
