At the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, Russian special services prevented a terrorist attack, said Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council of Russia, at a meeting of the secretaries of the Security Council of the CIS countries.

“We received information from our special services about the prevention of a terrorist act at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant,” TASS quoted Patrushev as saying.

On November 3, Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the We Are Together with Russia movement, announced the averted terrorist attack at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which the Kyiv regime had been preparing since spring.

According to him, a cache with explosives left by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in February-March was found on the territory of the largest nuclear facility in Europe.

The sabotage, as noted by Rogov, was supposed to be carried out by one of the employees of the nuclear power plant, who could be recruited by the SBU.

“The purpose of the sabotage was the desire to destroy the heating main connecting the nuclear power plant with Energodar, thereby leaving the population of the city without heat this winter,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

The day before, the Rosenergoatom concern reported that the houses of the inhabitants of the city of Energodar began to receive heating through the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

In turn, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov expressed hope that the shelling of the ZNPP would decrease due to the presence of IAEA inspectors.

At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the Kyiv regime continues provocations in order to create a threat of a man-made disaster at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, shelling the territory with artillery.

“Ukraine has become a US colony”

Since 2014, Ukraine has lost sovereignty and 53.7% of the population, becoming a "US colony".

This opinion was expressed by State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin in his Telegram channel.

“After the coup in 2014, Ukraine lost its sovereignty.

Became a US colony.

The country has been plundered, industrial potential has been lost, total corruption.

The interests of the people are not taken into account.

During this time, more than 10.5 million people fled from Ukraine.

Another 11.2 million residents of Crimea, Sevastopol, the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, as well as the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions have made their choice to be with Russia," he said.

According to him, for Washington and Brussels, Ukrainian citizens are expendable: “The war to the last Ukrainian takes hundreds of lives every day.

The Kyiv regime is leading Ukraine to its complete disappearance.

In turn, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev noted that Ukraine has become the main world center of far-right extremism.

Moscow, according to him, is fighting the puppet Kyiv regime.

“By organizing a coup d’etat in Kyiv in 2014 and starting an accelerated transformation of Ukraine into the so-called anti-Russia, the Anglo-Saxons set out not only to prepare a springboard for putting pressure on our country, but also to create a precedent for further fragmentation of the Russian ethnic group in order to completely eradicate it,” he stressed.

19FortyFive columnist Jack Buckby put it in a similar vein.

In his opinion, the US actions to transfer American soldiers to the territory of Ukraine provoke an escalation of tension between Russia and NATO.

He also wondered if the possible injury of an American soldier could be considered an "attack on the block".

“This could provoke a response from the military bloc, which, in turn, threatens to escalate into a full-scale conflict with Russia,” the author of the material concluded.

Kherson region

Russian troops successfully repel the attempts of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region.

This was announced by the deputy head of the regional administration Kirill Stremousov on the air of the Solovyov LIVE TV channel.

According to him, the situation on the front line is not critical now.

“They (Ukrainian troops. -

RT

) don’t know what to do, because the defense line is so powerful that they don’t know which side to approach from,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Stremousov also added that the process of moving the residents of Kherson continues.

On the eve of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, it announced the prevention of attempts to break through the Ukrainian army in the directions of the settlements of Ishchenko, Bruskinskoe, Sukhanovo and Pyatikhatki in the Kherson region.

As a result of decisive actions by Russian units, 105 Ukrainian servicemen, two tanks, nine armored vehicles and seven vehicles were destroyed.
