Dmitry Peskov made another cynical statement
Dmitry Peskov admitted that he did not have accurate information about the attack on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but Ukraine was still "to blame."
Russia denies its involvement in the attack on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and traditionally blames the "Kyiv regime" for everything. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said this in comments to Russian media on Friday, February 14.
"I don't have accurate information. I know one thing: there is no question of any strikes being carried out on any nuclear infrastructure facilities, nuclear energy infrastructure. Therefore, any statements that this was the case are untrue," he cynically stated and emphasized that "the Russian military does not do this."
According to Peskov, “most likely this is another provocation, a rigging.” He placed the responsibility on the “Kyiv regime.”
In turn, the head of the Central Directorate of the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko, published on Telegram a photo of the engine from the Russian drone that hit the Chernobyl NPP and reacted to Peskov's words.
"Peskov is an ordinary fool who is currently at his most comical in his own lies, denying everything," he wrote.

According to the State Emergency Service, the radiation background after the Russian drone strike on the Chernobyl NPP is within normal limits - 0,57 μSv/h. Monitoring is ongoing.
A little later, details of the damage to the Chernobyl NPP became known. This involved damage to the integrity of the outer shell of the Shelter facility.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a targeted Russian strike on the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and a so-called "greeting" from Vladimir Putin on the opening day of the Munich Security Conference.
