Ukraine is attacking the nuclear power plant territory every day, but this article only talks about provications by ... Russia?

I’ve never seen such spectacularly stupid journalism in all my life.

Allahpundit gets fired and they still manage to cite him as a source.

What a garbage publication.

Russia needs the nuclear power plant for the electricity supply for Kherson Oblast.

Russia needs the hydroelectric power plant down the road for the backup pumps for the nuclear power plant.

Ukraine is shelling both power stations.

Who is this clown John Sexton?

Hot Air is pretty much all-in on Ukrainian propaganda. Whatever the Ukrainians put out, Hot Air prints it uncritically. They just really need to do us all a favor and just shut down their site.

That explains it.

Don’t know but he rates pretty high on the moron scale. The Neocons will no doubt eat his fantasies up.

Amazing where all the love for Russia shows up on here. In case you forgot, Russia attacked Ukraine, yet somehow Russia are the good guys. There was zero chance of Ukraine being let into NATO. Putin wants land

The only evidence I've seen of attacks from that nuclear power plan has been evidence of Russians attacking from the power plant. This particular article even has video of Russian military vehicles parked right inside one of the reactor buildings.

Evidence is relative as is truth.

And what you are putting forth is just what ZelenskyyIdiot put forth, we - Ukraine - will attack and shell a nuclear power plant because the Russians are inside it or near it. Smart fellows you all must be. Zealots asking for a Big Boom more like it.

February 20, 2022 - Munich

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Let me start by saying I appreciate and admire President Zelenskyy’s desire to join NATO. And one of, again, the founding principles of NATO is that each country must have the ability — unimpaired, unimpeded — to determine their own future, both in terms of their form of government and, in this case, whether they desire to be a member of NATO.

The dumb ho went to Europe and said dumb things about the Ukraine joining NATO.

Why do you think Russia attacked the Ukraine - after the mouthbreather who is VP signaled that it was OK for the Zel puppet to have NATO aspirations?

After they'd all been warned?

Looks to me like Russia punched the neocon bullies in Washington and London in the face, first.

Would you really like a nuclear power plant to be unguarded??

It is now a Russian nuclear power plant in a war zone. If Ukraine wants to put Ukraine military outside to guard it, all they have to do is retake it with their counteroffensive.

Look at the video. Those are supply trucks, which are currently being bombed all over Ukraine screwing up Russian logistics. Those are not "guarding" the nuclear power plant. They are being guarded BY the plant.

Only when Russkies and Putinist trolls can't provide any evidence. In which case, evidence becomes relative when presented by non-Putinists, meanwhile their mere claims become absolute evidence that cannot be questioned or else you're part of Globohomo, or a Nazi, or, if you're hanging around your average Russian social media account, "a Jewish Nazi".

What kind of bumbling moron and monster do you have to be to believe that merely having aspirations--with no imminent threat, no chance of even joining due to the ongoing conflict in the Donbass--is justification for launching a war that has now lasted 7 months and has cost both sides tens of thousands of lives, including civilians?

I recently read a report that Russia is digging outside the facility to transfer connections so they can disconnect the power plant from Ukraine distribution to Russia’s distribution infrastructure. Thus it is entirely possible that Ukraine has been targeting this outside work, rather than bombing the power plant itself. This would certainly motivate Russia to try to pin something on Ukraine, so they can steal the power without interference.
