Russian forces are firing rockets at a physics institute in the city of Kharkiv that contains nuclear material and a reactor which could lead to a 'large-scale ecological disaster' if hit, according to Ukraine's national security service.
The service said on Facebook on Sunday that the Russians were firing at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology from Grad launchers. Missiles fired from Grad launchers do not have precise targeting, raising concern that one could damage the reactor and release deadly radiation across Europe.
The science institute houses the Neutron Source nuclear research facility and contains 37 nuclear fuel cells in its core, according Ukrainian foreign minister Emine Dzheppar.

Russia is downwind from these nuclear facilities, so this is idiotic, if not suicidal.
I am gonna guess...another fake narrative.
Morons.
They took out the Vinnytsia airport a few hours ago in west central Ukraine. I assume this is in response to recent reports of Poland giving Ukraine fighter jets

Yay! Environmental disaster!!!!
Has to be.
The first one (shooting at the reactor) really got the libs wound up. One of them brung it up on a conf call... wanted the group to talk about it!
But yeah, who would make a mess like this in their own back yard?
I’ve heard speculation that Putin wants control of the plants to avoid disaster. But, I have no evidence of that, it just makes sense.
Well, it was not the case the last time something like this was reported. Suppose maybe it is a false report yet again.
Putin must be at a Hitler level of craziness.
Clearly a cynical plan to permanently put the brakes on Western Europe rebuilding nuclear reactors to move away from Russian dependence, with a typical Euro weenie frightened of any ecological harm of any sort. Germany was rich when it ran on UO²
On the bright side, traffic is light.
There are other narratives regarding the Zaporizhia nuclear plant.
According to other sources (yes, the Russians) the plant had already been under Russian control for at least a day, and Ukrainian operators were still on the job, when a fire occurred - in an administration building, (which the Russians claim was intentionally set) and was contained immediately. Zelensky was on the air 20 minutes later, declaring a nuclear emergency.
So who should we believe? Both are incentivized to lie during a war. You will have to decide for yourself.
Well, he’ll scare the Europeans out of restarting their nuclear power plants any time soon or later.
Yes it actually seems smart for Putin to make securing the nuclear facilities a top priority, and in my opinion shows that he’s not crazy like the media keeps telling us.
The first plant attack proved false. Just like the Snake Island, Ghost of Kiev, tank running over car etc. Why anyone believes this?
Concurring bump...considering the first so-called attack was debunked, this one is not believable.
Zelensky keeps making wild false claims trying to draw the U.S. into war. This man wants nuclear war.
We are not getting the whole story.
Neither are we getting the truth.
As the Russians would say about their two major News Agencies, Pravda (which means “Truth”) and Izvestiya (which means “News”) ...
“In the Truth there is no News, and in the News there is no Truth.”
And since Zelensky is a Soros puppet, we should be asking if Soros is the one trying to ignite a nuclear war.
