Ukraine failed to seize Kursk N-plant, force Russia into talks: Commander

Moscow, Aug 14 (UNI) Kiev planned to seize the Kursk nuclear power plant on August 11 and use it to start negotiations with Moscow with an ultimatum, Akhmat special forces regiment commander Apti Alaudinov said on Wednesday.
"We received very interesting materials — the whole layout of the operation, which was being prepared, by what forces and what was planned. What can I say: on the 11th [of August] it was necessary to take the nuclear power plant in Kurchatov... [Ukrainian President] Zelenskyy's blitzkrieg, which was planned with the seizure of the Kurchatov nuclear power plant and already entering negotiations with an ultimatum ... failed," Alaudinov said on Telegram.
The task had not been completed, despite all the reserves directed by Kiev in this direction, Alaudinov said.
