It is noted that on March 6, foreign journalists arrived in Kharkiv to record the consequences of a probable provocation.
“Nationalists mined a reactor at an experimental nuclear facility located at the Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology.
The SBU and the militants of the Azov battalion are planning to blow up the reactor and accuse the Russian Armed Forces of allegedly launching a missile attack on an experimental nuclear facility, ”the Ministry of Defense said.
Earlier, the interdepartmental coordinating headquarters for humanitarian response in Ukraine reported that the Kiev authorities reject cooperation on the evacuation of people from Kharkiv and Sumy.
Chairman of the Russian Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin instructed to investigate the circumstances of the shelling of a group of civilians during the evacuation in Mariupol.
According to investigators, members of the Azov National Battalion shot down a column of civilians while passing through the gum corridor.
