It sure sounds like
Zelensky/Xiden/Graham intend to create a false flag emergency/pretense around a nuclear blast from the Russian-held nuclear plant, Europe's largest.
"Destruction of a nuclear facility"

The 4th and 6th power units of the Zaporozhye NPP were mined by Russia," Kyrylo Budanov
"The situation has never been as serious as it is now.
The plan of the terrorist attack at the ZNPP has been fully developed and approved. To accelerate the catastrophe, they can use technical means," Budanov stated
Now, Zelensky has made two separate videos where he plainly states that Russia is preparing a massive terrorist attack at the ZNPP plant "just like they did at the Kakhovka dam". He goes on to sternly warn the world and charge them with the responsibility to act with utmost severity in response to this upcoming Russian attack. He specifically invokes the threat of radiation crossing the borders into other NATO countries for obvious effect.
Frustrating if he is right about this 'false flag' operation.
Somewhat better news is he thinks it's unlikely the Russians are preparing for a big offensive operation, based on a long discussion of recruitment/mobilization for both:
Quote:
The point is that, Shoigu stated that these new formations are to be reserves. That means they are not for the SMO but are to simply fortify and reinforce the two newly planned military districts of the Moscow and Leningrad region. Further, they can be used for rotations of units in the SMO, but not concurrently with the SMO units.
So what does this tell us? If the newly recruited 150k+ are not for the SMO, it means we're left only with the previous total of around ~350k as being Russia's total SMO troop count. And though that number could be higher, it could also be lower if I'm wrong on things like how many Russian troops left after contract expiry or even total casualties.
And while ~350k is clearly higher than Ukraine's ~200-250k or so, it's not several orders of magnitude higher. Furthermore, with constant rotation, that becomes more like 250k or less on the actual field at any given time. Which would mean that Russia's actual troop numbers in the theater could be at rough parity with that of the AFU. This clearly explains why Russia is not yet gearing up for some mass overwhelming big arrow attacks. Also, the newly mobilized 150k might be split with some going towards the new army/corps while the rest going directly to the SMO.
Anyway, then some rah rah hatred toward Prighozin and cheerleading about Russian patriotism/unity, blah blah blah. It sounds like there isn't much actual change in the 'offensive' from the UFA, just more senseless carnage for the cameras, and desperate attempts to raise more men for future cannon fodder operations.
Saint Zelensky has declared himself a dictator, no elections until after the war/he feels like it.
