Ukraine's nuclear energy agency Energoatom on Monday accused Moscow's troops of an attack on the country's second-largest nuclear plant in the south. The accusations come after the Moscow-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine — Europe's largest atomic facility — faced frequent shelling in recent months, raising fears of a nuclear incident. On Monday, "the Russian army carried out a missile attack on the industrial site" of the Pivdennoukrainsk nuclear power plant, Energoatom said in a post on the Telegram messaging service. It added that a "powerful explosion" took place "just 300 meters" (985 feet) from the facility's reactors but they were operating as "normal." The strike damaged more than 100 windows of the power station's building, the nuclear agency said, posting photos of glass shattered around the broken windows. The agency also released photographs of what it said was a two-meter-deep crater from where the missile landed. "Fortunately, no one among the power plant staff was hurt," Energoatom said. "Russia endangers the whole world. We have to stop it before it's too late," Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Telegram, reacting to the strike.

The night-time Russian strike.....

If Putin ever pops that baby, we will know two things:

1] He believes all is lost in UKR
2] The West will assure his calculus in #1 comes to fruition.

Putin is solely responsible for what his forces do in Ukraine.

Actually, we are all treading on dangerous grounds here. We are treading in a minefield. There are those who are confident nuclear catastrophe can be ruled out because Russians are not suicidal. Correct. Problem is we may all wind up in a nuclear catastrophe for totally different reasons.

btw Ukrainians had been shelling the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. The Ukrainian response was that it was actually Russians shelling their own positions at the plant so as to blame on Ukraine.

I imagine this last strike by the Russians is just another step down that spiral.

Sure the west will make Russia's #1 calculus come to fruition. Is there something the Russians may deliver in return?
