MOSCOW, 4 Mar - RIA Novosti. Kiev wanted to accuse the Russian Federation of creating a radiation source of destruction at the NPP, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov told reporters on Thursday.

"On Friday night, the Kiev regime attempted to implement a monstrous provocation on the territory adjacent to the Zaporozhye NPP. At about 2 a.m., while patrolling the protected area adjacent to the station, a mobile patrol of the Rosgvardiya was attacked by a Ukrainian sabotage group - heavy small arms fire was opened at the Rosgvardians from the windows of several floors of the training complex located outside the power plant. The firing points of the Ukrainian saboteurs were suppressed by return fire from small arms. Leaving the building, the Ukrainian sabotage group set fire to the building," Konashenkov said.

"The purpose of the provocation of the Kiev regime at the nuclear facility is an attempt to accuse Russia of creating a hotbed of radioactive contamination. All this testifies to the criminal intent of the Kiev regime or the complete loss of Zelensky's control over the actions of Ukrainian sabotage groups with the participation of foreign mercenaries." he added.

Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine early on Thursday, February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal "the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years."

To do this, according to him, it is planned to carry out "demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine", to bring to trial all war criminals responsible for "bloody crimes against civilians" of Donbass.

According to the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Armed Forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, the civilian population is not in danger. With the support of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the DPR and LPR groups are developing an offensive. But there is no question of the occupation of Ukraine, stressed the President of Russia.

On the morning of March 3, more than 1.6 thousand objects were hit, 62 aircraft, 606 tanks and other armored vehicles were destroyed, and so on. The territory around the Chernobyl (mothballed) and Zaporozhye (operating) nuclear power plants has been taken under control. Eight years later, the North Crimean Canal was unblocked, work is underway to restore water supply to the Crimea.

The offensive is going in several directions, Kiev is blocked from the west. A detailed map of the regions of Ukraine in which the Russian military operates, however, has not yet been officially published. The Russian Armed Forces have achieved air supremacy over the whole of Ukraine.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry on March 2, 498 Russian soldiers were killed and 1,597 wounded during the operation. Among the Ukrainian side, the Russian military department reports, losses are several times higher: more than 2,870 killed and about 3,700 wounded.

The Russian Defense Ministry reports on a number of cases of voluntary laying down of arms by Ukrainian troops - they are guaranteed safety and return to their families. Meanwhile, Ukrainian security forces are deploying multiple rocket launchers directly in residential areas of Kiev and other Ukrainian cities. Putin called it a terrorist tactic.
