They did it so they can blame Ukrainian attacks. Credible reports say it’s a pile of tires that’s burning. While nuclear disaster isn’t imminent, reactors aren’t meant to take such insane abuse.
Russians torch nuclear plant
The Russians occupying the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station have Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fuming. Igniting “a massive blaze at a nuclear power plant” is clearly “provocation” from Moscow. The Kremlin is upset over recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian soil.
Ukrainian forces, CBC News reports, “rammed through the Russian border on August 6 and swept across some western parts of Russia’s Kursk region.” The attack caught Vlad totally by surprise.
The reason why all the images of the burning nuclear plant have a circle around the tower is because they were released by Ukrainian officials. They’re calling it a “towering inferno” which is a little misleading but there is a tower and an inferno.
Enerhodar. We have recorded from Nikopol that the Russian occupiers have started a fire on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

“Videos circulating online show ominous black smoke pouring out of the nuclear site.” The Russians allegedly running the place have been repeatedly warned to be careful with it. This isn’t the first stupid stunt they’ve pulled there.
“Following repeated warnings about the safety of the nuclear plant, and with the Chernobyl disaster burnt into the memory of many Ukrainians, the cause of the black clouds is macabre,” The Mirror reports.
They also note that Yevhen Yevtushenko, who happens to be head of Nikopol’s military administration, admitted to them that the Russians “ignited car tires in the cooling towers of Zaporizhzhia to simulate the appearance of a potentially catastrophic fire.”
Exploiting Western anxiety
The way Zelenskyy sees it, Vladimir Putin is “using the facility as leverage against Ukraine and exploiting Western anxieties about potential escalation.” The occupying Russians “started a fire on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.” How stupid can you be? He observed to the press.
“Currently, the radiation indicators are normal. But as long as Russian terrorists retain control over the nuclear plant, the situation is not and cannot be normal.”
The Russians have been using the nuclear facility as a “bargaining chip” since day one. They fully understand how great seizure of the site works for purposes of “blackmailing both Ukraine and the whole of Europe and the world.”

Before the war, it supplied twenty percent of Ukraine’s power. Russia continues to insist that the Ukrainians started the blaze.
“Yevhen Balytskyi, the Russia-appointed governor of the occupied Zaporizhzhia region, accused Ukrainian forces of shelling the plant and causing the fire.” Of course he would say that. He also “failed to provide any evidence to support his claim.” Another local official installed by the Russians, Vladimir Rogov, backs their official story, claiming the plant was hit by a “kamikaze drone.”
The Mirror points out, “this incident comes six days after Ukraine launched an unexpected military incursion into Russia’s Kursk border region. The incursion started on Tuesday, with up to 1,000 troops entering the Kursk region. This marks the largest attack since Moscow initiated its invasion in 2022.” Vlad doesn’t like issuing evacuation orders to civilian Russians.
