Spot the 6 Z-marked trucks, 3 shipping containers AND A BLOODY TANK that the Russians have parked inside the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant. In violation of Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, Protection of works and installations containing dangerous forces.


Twitter thread here.

Rather brilliantly, fact-checkers have trawled through old footage of tours of this and other NPPs and confirmed, yes, this definitely is A nuclear power plant.

Some of the Russian responses are hilarious. My favorites have to be

"how is that proof? there are f***ing hundreds of turbine rooms with that color scheme AROUND THE WORLD"

and,

"You do understand that Ukraine has several nuclear stations built by one project?"

Oh! So that makes it so much safer! Because obviously, a Z army parking its vehicles, munitions and ammo AND A TANK that close to the engine room of a nuclear power plant is PERFECTLY sensible regardless of which power plant it happens to be.

What would it take for you to consider it possible that MAYBE the Russian military chain of command is the most reckless entity, presenting the most immediate and existential threat to the world right now, BECAUSE they're nutty enough to do something THAT nuts?

They are, after all, the only party in this entire conflict that's been screwing around with nuclear safety systems AND rushing the assembly of new nuclear-capable missiles AND flying aircraft with nukes on board unauthorised over Scandinavian airspace.

There is no tank on video. I’ve seen light infantry and BTR on premises, pretty consistent with the idea of the small garrison defending the station from sabotage.
