I believe at least one or two of the four reactors in the complex are still in use. This is to cut off power resources to Ukraine.

Turkey has a population close to Russia’s and a pretty capable military. It might be a shame they decided to exercise the old Byzantine claim to the Crimea.

Volodymyr Zelensky, in an address to the nation on Thursday evening, described Russia as 'evil' and said Putin had attacked 'like a suicidal scoundrel... just as Fascist Germany did in World War II'.

'Ukraine will not surrender its freedom, whatever Moscow thinks,' he added. 'For Ukrainians independence and the right to live free on our land is the highest value.'

You rang?

Seriously, I believe the Russians will make the case that the Ukrainians could have made a dirty bomb with the remains so they wanted to secure from that.

Pripyat certainly is. But it's also on the road to Kiev.

Turkey has no nukes.
Russia has more nukes than any country in world, incl USA.
I rest my case.

Ukraine kept them running through the 90s they needed power so bad, Not sure if they are still running. Regardless working their was a slow death sentence, everyone receives elevated doses high enough to shorten your lifespan.
