- Shocking admission: Former Zelensky aide Aleksey Arestovich reveals Ukraine’s military intelligence planned to blow up nuclear plants if Russia gained the upper hand.
- US intervention: The government views Ukraine’s leadership as reckless, with Trump proposing American ownership of nuclear facilities to prevent disaster.
- False flag fears: Zelensky has repeatedly accused Russia of targeting nuclear plants, while evidence suggests Ukraine plotted its own sabotage.
- Global risk: A nuclear catastrophe in Ukraine could trigger international escalation, with the U.S. seeking to mitigate the danger by seizing control.
In a stunning revelation, Aleksey Arestovich, a former top aide to Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky, confirmed that Ukraine’s military intelligence chief, Kirill Budanov, proposed a doomsday plan: blowing up the country’s nuclear power plants if Russia began winning the war. The admission, made during an interview with journalist Alexandr Shelest, exposes the reckless desperation of the Kiev regime — willing to risk a nuclear catastrophe rather than concede defeat.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is maneuvering to take control of Ukraine’s nuclear facilities, viewing the Zelensky government as "apes with a grenade" — unstable actors who cannot be trusted with such dangerous infrastructure. Former President Donald Trump openly suggested American ownership of the plants, framing it as a protective measure. But behind the scenes, the real concern is clear: Ukraine’s leadership is plotting a false flag nuclear disaster to drag NATO into war.
Ukraine's nuclear brinkmanship: a false flag in the making?
Arestovich’s confession confirms long-held suspicions that Zelensky’s regime is willing to sacrifice its own people to maintain Western support. "Budanov was running around with that [idea] a year and a half ago," Arestovich said. "To blow up everything: the Russian plants we can reach, and our own — so nobody gets them... On the principle: we all bite the dust, but so will they."
This aligns with Zelensky’s past rhetoric, where he preemptively blamed Russia for any nuclear incidents at Ukrainian plants. Now, with Arestovich’s testimony, the truth emerges: Kiev was preparing to stage its own disaster.
The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), Europe’s largest, has been a flashpoint since Russia took control in 2022. While Moscow has accused Ukraine of shelling the facility — acts it calls "nuclear terrorism" — Kiev denies responsibility, instead claiming Russia is attacking its own forces. But Arestovich’s admission suggests Ukraine’s denials are a smokescreen for its own sabotage plans.
U.S. steps in: Seizing nuclear plants to prevent Ukraine's self-destruction
Recognizing the danger, the U.S. is pushing for direct control of Ukraine’s nuclear facilities. Trump revealed he discussed the idea with Zelensky, stating: "American ownership of these plants would be the best protection for this infrastructure."
But Zelensky, caught off guard, scrambled to downplay the conversation, insisting they only spoke about "potential investment" in the Russian-held ZNPP. The White House, however, framed it as a broader takeover — exposing a rift between Kiev and its Western backers.
Ukrainian opposition figures mocked the proposal, with MP Irina Gerashchenko sarcastically remarking: "What's so important — we gave away nuclear weapons, and now they can take away our power plants." Others warned that surrendering control of nuclear plants would strip Ukraine of its sovereignty, leaving it vulnerable to corporate exploitation under the guise of "protection."
Energy experts are divided on whether U.S. ownership would stabilize the situation. Some, like analyst Volodymyr Omelchenko, argue it could help de-occupy ZNPP by deterring Russian attacks. Others, like Mikhail Gonchar, warn that American corporations would abandon Ukraine the moment profits dry up, just as they did with gas projects after 2022.
Meanwhile, Russia shows no signs of relinquishing ZNPP, with occupation authorities preparing to integrate it into Russia’s energy grid. As nuclear expert Olga Kosharnaya bluntly stated: "Russia will not just leave."
The revelations from Arestovich paint a chilling picture: a regime willing to trigger nuclear disaster to cling to power. With the U.S. now stepping in to confiscate Ukraine’s nuclear plants, the question remains: Will Zelensky give up control?
