Possible radiation leak at the Rostov NPP: Main Intelligence Directorate is monitoring the situation Yaroslav Pogonchuk

The Main Intelligence Directorate responded to information about a radiation leak at the Rostov NPP/Collage by Channel 24

Ukrainian intelligence is closely monitoring the situation at the Rostov NPP. The Russian side's statements need to be carefully checked.

It's all because of Russia's tendency to hush up man-made problems. This was stated on air by Andrey Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, on the 24 Channel.

What the Main Intelligence Directorate says about the radiation leak at the Rostov NPP

Yusov noted that the information that is being disseminated on Russian social networks is being closely monitored, but all data requires careful verification.

Of course, all Ukrainians and you and I are looking forward to the good news that there will still be chambers on Russian territory. But we check and monitor. It is clear that the information that is disseminated from Russian public pages must be treated very carefully and divided into several orders of magnitude,” noted the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate.

He recalled that Russia is a closed state and often conceals data about man-made problems. As an example, Yusov cited the accident that occurred on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. – There is no reason for this. We must check. The fact that Putin’s regime can hide the truth from its own citizens and the international community about some serious problems in the energy sector – yes, this is the nature of the dictatorship, but we will still find out the truth. Yusov summarized.

What preceded this

July 19, information began to spread in the media and social networks that there was a release of radiation in Russia after the accident at the Rostov Nuclear Power Plant. There is no official confirmation of this.

Russian Telegram channels stated that the emergency release of radioactive water at the nuclear power plant was allegedly not localized, which led to a constant leak of radiation . The authorities of the Rostov region and the Kremlin deny these statements, claiming that the station is operating normally, and reports of breakdowns and leaks are fake.

However, in the southern regions of Russia and the temporarily occupied Crimea, power outage schedules were introduced.
