The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (HUR MOU) warned that the russian special services are preparing to carry out a provocation at the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant. Moreover, russia put official Minsk before such fact.
"Citizens of NATO countries and Ukraine are traditionally designated as responsible for terrorist attacks, who will apparently be disguised in Belarusian military uniforms. Currently, the units of the Belarusian KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the border troops have already been put on high alert," the HUR MOU said in a statement.

Just such a "terrorist attack" should become a "trigger" for Belarus to enter the war on russia’s side. Other alternative or parallel options are facilities in the Grodno and Brest regions.
But the main feature of the Belarusian NPP is that it is located 20 km from the border with Lithuania, which is a member of NATO, and only 50 km from Vilnius. The probability that russia’s FSB or another special service is preparing a "terrorist attack" can be based on the location of the object.
At the same time, during the construction of the Belarusian NPP numerous cases of violations of construction and safety conditions were recorded. And the most egregious case is the incident on July 10, 2016, when during the rehearsal of the reactor housing installation (334 tons) of the first power unit, it fell from a height of four meters.
Due to the public outcry, it was announced that the reactor would be replaced and, according to official statements, it was replaced with another one. Saying, that the spare reactor was intended for the Baltic NPP in Kaliningrad Oblast, the construction of which was stopped in 2014.
At the same time, the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant is legally recognized in Lithuania as an object that threatens national security. In this case, Lithuania may decide that any russia’s provocations at this object threaten the country, which is a member of NATO.
It should also be noted that conscripts in Belarus are being warned about mass training to be held at the end of the year.
