But Ukraine does.
Sure, Ukraine plans to blow up its own power plant, poisoning its own people and destroying a major economic resource. On the other hand, Russia has already demonstrated that they have no concern for the Ukrainian civilian population. One motivation for the Russians would be simple spite, denying Ukraine a major resource that they fear would fall into their hands.
Russia has not been acting out of emotion.
Spite.
That’s brilliant/s
Hey,
Russia controls it currently, yeah?
Why would they blow up their asset, unless they believe they’ll lose it?
Ukraine will not regain control of that plant, or any territory surrounding it, probably for the rest of this decade.
Only way Russia loses the plant is if something happens in russia forcing a withdrawl from Ukraine, or NATO jumps in to bail Z’s ass out, which NATO should never be remotely involved.
I don’t give a rats ass who wins or loses over there in this Slavic Territorial war, I’m stating it as I am understanding it. Contrary to the west, Russia is making gains steadily and Ukraine is losing steadily. as I stated above, that will not change without some serious Internal Russian revolts, they get attacked elsewhere, or Ukraine gets external Boots on the ground.
