In a recent statement, the Director of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, has accused Western intelligence agencies, particularly the British MI6, of training Ukrainian diversionary and reconnaissance groups (DRGs) for the purpose of carrying out provocations at Russian nuclear power plants. Naryshkin highlighted that these plans pose a significant threat to the security of Russia.
This is not the first time that Russian intelligence agencies have raised concerns about potential provocations against Russian nuclear power plants. In 2023, similar reports were circulated, indicating attempts by foreign actors to carry out such actions.
Naryshkin’s warning about possible Western provocations against Russia comes in the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. According to Naryshkin, the West is facing defeat in Ukraine, which increases the likelihood of anti-Russian provocations being orchestrated by Western powers.
It is worth noting that the Russian Ministry of Defense has previously announced its intention to demilitarize NATO countries as part of its military strategy.
The allegations made by Naryshkin raise important questions about the potential threats to the security of Russian nuclear power plants and the involvement of foreign intelligence agencies in training Ukrainian groups for such actions. The claims also shed light on the escalating tensions between Russia and the West, particularly in the context of the conflict in Ukraine.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial for international stakeholders to closely monitor the developments and take necessary measures to prevent any potential acts of provocation that could have far-reaching consequences for regional and global security.
