Not speaking specifically about this plant, but depending on the particulars shut down reactors can still overheat and blow to hell if the cooling is interrupted. You can’t just flip the off switch and walk away.

There are so many discrepancies in "news" stories and revisions in history that it makes it impossible to believe any of it. For all we know, some of Putins soldiers may have been having a barbecue and this is how Zalenski spun it.

maybe we should believe them this time ?

"The plant was not operational"

OMG is that true ?

[BlackVeil]

Enerhodar sounds like a location in Middle Earth.

It does. This whole war has an aura of being an epic, a tale told with drama.

[KTM rider]

That’s what I am also finding. Ukraine theater

[Eleutheria5]

It was just an administrative building. But this is disturbing. Is this Putin’s exit strategy? If he can’t have Ukraine, neither can the Ukrainians or anyone else?

[Steve Van Doorn]

These paid shills have a pattern. One of their leaders will post something from MSM that makes no sense what so ever. Then they all jump in on the thread at the same time to agree with it and attack those that doesn't.

It's a very simple process. Though for the meek it works.
You hit the word right on the head what they themselves call it the "MOB." I believe it was Jack Dorsey that used the term first in this context.

I think you got the hang of it. If you go too the "q" group they're not allowed to be idiots there. It makes it a lot easier to communicate.

Per AP: https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-volodymyr-zelenskyy-joe-biden-kyiv-business-33b6c1709dee937750f95c6786832840

Some choice quotes:

"[Ukraine's state nuclear regulator] noted in a statement on Facebook the importance of maintaining the ability to cool nuclear fuel, saying the loss of such ability could lead to an accident even worse than 1986 Chernobyl accident, the world’s worst nuclear disaster, or the 2011 Fukushima meltdowns in Japan. It also noted that there is a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel at the site, though there was no sign that facility was hit by shelling."

...

"Earlier, nuclear plant spokesman Andriy Tuz told Ukrainian television that shells fell directly on the facility and set fire to one of its six reactors. That reactor is under renovation and not operating, he said."

[Steve Van Doorn]

There is no way in hell Putin can lose this war. you understand that right? It's similar to the US losing the initial war in 2003 Iraq. (not saying Iraq war was justified)
I'm simply saying we couldn't have lose against Saddam's forces. It's simply not possible without gods intervention or something.

There is no indication Putin attacked this nuclear site.

Southfront has videos "of the night clashes" near the plant.

These particular videos show tracer (from small arms I guess).

Southfront editorialises on the pro-Russia side.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

I don’t think Putin is ordering anything directly in this war. They want the plant so as to turn off the lights, and use it to rebuild the nation when the war is over (two weeks or so).

Now watch people believe everything they read....

[mewzilla]

Because the same people who lied to us for years about Trump, election security, fricking CoupFlu, would never dream of lying to us about this, right...?

The employees might not get paid. The burning building is the administrative building. The idea might be to knock out the power distribution, rather than the reactors. They would want a blackout, not Chernobyl 2.0.

[agere_contra]

I guess the Russians want to be able to control power distribution. And to deny that same control power to the UDF.

This power outage tracking site isn't showing a blackout across Ukraine (at least as of 10 minutes ago). Disclaimer: I found this site at random - I have no idea of its provenance nor trustworthiness.

IIRC the Russians have stated that they want to avoid any possible UDF provocation at the site - preventing what we might call 'Chernobyl 2.0'.

The Russians took over the actual Chernobyl site a few days back, with the same expressed intention.

But the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is HUGE: the Russians must have an eye on the strategic possibilities of cutting power if they wanted to.

[PIF]

According to morning news the reactors are fine, but a building is on fire.

[wastedyears]

The propaganda is astonishing.

[wastedyears]

And this is what Putin does to a nuke plant less than a days drive from Moscow.

You believe the mainstream media?

[wastedyears]

Who gives orders to tell troops yo fire a nuclear power plant? Putin’s a rabid crazed dog that needs to be put down.

Do you really believe the media?
