Russia-Ukraine Reports - 2023-07-02 (1)

It’s clear that a Zaporozhye nuclear incident is the number one priority of Ukraine in the next few days. The incident must occur ahead of the NATO summit, which will begin on July 11.

The idea appears to be that NATO may be compelled to intervene if the optics suggest that Russia has used Zaporozhye as a dirty bomb. At a minimum, the west would be compelled to ramp up support. As such, we’re going to focus on that front more this week.
