Russia's Sputnik news agency revealed that Ukrainian forces may use radioactive warheads to attack two Russian-controlled nuclear power plants, in order to put pressure on Russia in the context of a fierce armed conflict between the two countries.
Pro-Russian forces in Kharkiv province said some Ukrainian prisoners of war said the Ukrainian side planned to attack Russian nuclear facilities, including the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
A Russian security source told Sputnik that Ukrainian troops planned to attack the two nuclear power plants with radioactive warheads.
Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the pro-Russian underground, told Sputnik that Western intelligence agencies, primarily British, were monitoring the implementation of the plan to attack with radioactive bullets.
Mr. Lebedev emphasized that a large number of Western journalists had arrived in Sumy and Zaporizhzhia provinces while Kiev was preparing for an attack on the aforementioned nuclear power plants.
Russian political analyst Rostislav Ishschenko said that Ukraine's only option left is to resort to nuclear weapons to deal with Russia.
A radioactive bomb, also known as a "dirty bomb", is a conventional explosive bomb filled with radioactive material to cause widespread environmental pollution.
