Bring in the UN! Wow that’ll be an effective response!
FIRE!
The UN , LOL
They will use it to deploy U.S. troops there.
Why would Russia do this when they have been avoiding taking out the utilities?
Maybe it’s a warning to Biden..I will nuke your ass, too, if you mess with me
No they don’t need to do that to make a point.
That city is about 25 miles south of Dnipro, a city of over 1 million where my paternal grandfather was born. Quite a number of my distant relatives live within a few hours of Dnipro, including in Zaporizhya. Prayers up for all of them, and for everyone in Ukraine. There but for the grace of God go I.
Don't laugh, if the UN orders troops in, they will be our's.
Unfortunately we are Constitutionally bound by a Senate ratified treaty to do so if ordered, and THIS President is salivating (even more than normal) to do so.
The Russians have been avoiding the utilities around Ukraine so they do not have spend billions to rebuild.
So why would they shell a nuclear power plant? That does not make sense.
Who gains and who loses from this?
Bring in the UN???
Ukraine has the ongoing war to worry about...
It doesn’t need a few thousand child rapists in blue helmets cluttering the landscape...

I agree but this is how they are trying to make it bigger.

Someone was given orders to take the plant, probably as a bargaining chip?
An unmentioned point re Zaporizhya itself - this place is in many ways the core of the modern Ukrainian nation. The Zaporizhian Sich was an enclave of what became the Cossacks, the gangs of “free men” that decided to rule themselves, escaping from serfdom and setting themselves against the pretensions of Tatars, Turks, Poles and Russians. They gave all of these a run for their money.
There is a reason Gogol (maybe the most famous Ukrainian writer) wrote “Taras Bulba” as a national myth. The Zaporozhian Sich figures prominently in the book.
Taras Bulba is great fun by the way. None of that self-absorbed maundering of modern literature. In its own way its much like the novels of the Pole Sienkiewicz. All duels and cavalry charges and damsels in distress.
We probably will never know the responsible party should the reactor blow.
See post #10
Some fool four levels down from Army (Corps) command, given an order and no initiative to exercise common sense.
“Zaporozhye NPP reports Reactor one has been hit by Russian fire, condition of Reactor unknown….”

Well hell, that’s on a Twitter post so it MUST BE TRUE. LOL… the BS is getting incredibly deep regarding Ukraine.
Ivan is crazy. If it forces the city to surrender so be it. I bet they surrender within hours (this has been going on more than a day, btw)
