“Russian keeps up attacks near Ukraine nuclear plant”
If Russia wants to destroy the plant cause a meltdown, they don’t need to shell it. It’s much more effective to simply light off a ton of explosives from inside one of the domes.
...or shut off the cooling.
It fits perfectly into Russian strategy to disable a NPP, destroy power supply to a region that is going to vote to join Russia on 11 Sep, and to potentially contaminate large areas that they currently occupy to protect ethnic and cultural Russian speakers
Perfect strategic sense
Then you will get a tit for tat where Ukraine will figure out a way to sabotage a Russian nuclear power plant, so it blows to release radioactive elements. Might even be via a missile or three at the Russian nuke plants control rooms. Two can play this very nasty game. You should tell your barbaric heroes to cut way down on the vodka and liquor they have been raiding from Ukrainian homes.
