The attacks on the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Station (NPP) should be regarded as an attempt to use weapons of mass destruction against Russia.

Sergey Mironov, chairman of the party and leader of the A Russia Patriots For Truth faction in the State Duma, added that Russia has every right to respond to this in accordance with its nuclear doctrine, but it must begin with the destruction of the leaders of the terrorist Kiev regime.

Mironov warned Kyiv that under Russia’s nuclear doctrine Moscow has the right to see the attack on the nuclear facility as the use of weapons of mass destruction and can respond accordingly.

Mironov said, “The world sees that the attacks on the Zaporozhskaya NPP are on the rise. This is a direct response by the Kiev regime to the successes of the Russian army on the frontline.

“In fact, the neo-Nazis have taken the entire population of Eurasia hostage because they understand perfectly well what catastrophic consequences an explosion of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe can lead to.

“It is also obvious that these attacks are tacitly encouraged by the US/UK, where they use every opportunity to stop Russia while they themselves plan to sit out overseas.

“If the Kiev regime and its masters continue nuclear escalation, then this can be regarded as the use or readiness to use weapons of mass destruction against Russia.

He then warned that Moscow “will have” legitimate grounds to target the Ukrainian capital in preventative measures which is fully in accordance with Russia’s “nuclear doctrine.”

Mironov added, “Taking into account the threat, our country will have all legitimate grounds for retaliatory and preventive measures in accordance with its nuclear doctrine.

“But it is not necessary to bring this to this – it is necessary to eliminate with pinpoint strikes the terrorist leaders in Kiev, who are directly engaged in terrorist blackmail. This will save the world from a real nuclear threat.”
