The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office declared on September 2 that the activities of the British Monarchy’s Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) for Defense and Security Studies are undesirable in Russia. “According to the decision of the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office, the activities of the U.K. non-governmental organization the Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies are prohibited,” the statement said.
Acting as a British command post, RUSI inserted itself into the British-EU-American-NATO policymaking process. On April 28, 2023, RUSI released a report, “Dangerous Targets: Civilian Nuclear Infrastructure and the War in Ukraine,” which stated should “Russia ... manufacture a radiological incident at the ZNPP [Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant] or another facility to spoil a Ukrainian offensive,” that any such incident would be followed by “a massive [NATO military] response to mitigate damage.” That is, should an incident occur at ZNPP, then NATO could respond with a military attack that could escalate to nuclear war. Of course, the West could manufacture such a triggering incident.
