Ukrainian official claims plan to bomb nuclear plants

A former advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made alarming claims about Ukraine's military plans regarding nuclear plants. Oleksiy Arestovych discussed these plans in a recent interview. This comes after Donald Trump suggested that U.S. ownership of Ukraine’s nuclear facilities could be a good way to protect them. Arestovych claimed that Kirill Budanov, the head of Ukraine's military intelligence, proposed a drastic plan. He suggested blowing up nuclear plants if Ukraine started losing the war. This statement raises serious concerns about nuclear safety and military tactics in the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, other international leaders are also weighing in on the situation. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reaffirmed support for Ukraine amidst changing political dynamics. French President Emmanuel Macron proposed a nuclear deterrent for Europe due to uncertainties from the U.S. Tensions remain high as Russia continues its military actions. The Kremlin has called for nuclear disarmament talks, while reports indicate that Russian attacks have intensified across Ukraine.
