intelligence believed they placed an explosive on two of the nuclear reactors of the power units and that was to simulate an attack and blame ukraine, and went on to say perhaps the russians had been emboldened after the explosion at the dam last month, saying there was no timely large scale response to the dam being blown up and this may incite the kremlin to commit new evil. the kremlin said it s the responsibility of everyone in the world to stop it. no one can stand aside, radiation affects everyone. russia has responded to these games a couple of times now. a few days ago they said these were pure lies, today hitting back and accusing ukraine of planning some sort of attack at that plant. the united nations nuclear watchdog, the iaea says they were actually at the plant a couple of weeks ago. they said they saw no sign of any sort of sabotage there on
military patrols there as well, and the fear, which the ukrainians have been sort of sounding the alarm on for the past at least for the past week is that russia will is planning some sort of terrorist attack at the plant. the ukrainians have been holding drills in case of some sort of nuclear event in the area. that was happening yesterday, now the head of the iaea, the u.n. s nuclear watchdog yesterday told french tv that he was at the plant two weeks ago and that he saw no sign of any sort of plan to attack the plant, but he said anything can happen, and that s what worries him. also, the foreign minister for russia, sergey lavrov weighed in on this today. he said that these are, quote, pure lies on the part of the ukrainians and that the ukrainians are playing, quote, a dangerous game. there was more activity in other parts of ukraine today. there was a strike by the ukrainians in the southern city

for sure. and it makes the eastern flank that much almost doubles it in length. it wl certainly addo our terrentapabilities across thentire alliance, not just in the eastern flank but the southern flank too. again, these are two very modern militaries. we know them well, we work with them all the time. it will obviously have repercussions writ large. nato is a defensive alliance. this is not about posing a threat to russia or anyone else. it is about defense and only about defense. we had keir simmons, a great reporter for nbc news, was reporting from madrid, but interviewed some russians and even went to a museum that talked about nato s atrocities committed in europe, of course, pure propaganda, pure lies.
