Russian forces have captured Europe’s largest nuclear power plant after attacking it overnight Friday, which started at least one fire, officials said as the invasion into Ukraine entered its second week.
The State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine said the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, near the town of Energodar, was occupied by Russian military troops after confirming no changes to radiation levels following intense fighting and shelling at the station.
Experts say if a meltdown happened, consequences could be much worse than Chornobyl.
The world’s leading nuclear authorities said they were concerned — but not panicked — about the damage to the power station, which supplies about one quarter of Ukraine’s power generation.

I hope China would see this, realize Russia’s attack and “ambition” are crazy and inhumane, wake up, and join the sanctions as soon as possible. In the nuclear threatens, no one is an outsider. If the western world collapses, China will be Russia’s next target and apparently it cannot fight Russia by itself. If China doesn’t take action fast, we including China may all die soon or have to surrender to Russia’s fascist reigns and it will not be fun. Even if China joins us now, the world’s strength may still not be able to match Russia’s and turn the situation, but at least we can have more information, more ideas, more power, and more possibilities to save the world. China please all of us including yourself need your help.
There is NO WAY Russia just would have handed that facility over to NATO, without a fight.
This is no surprise.
Ironic, that lazy women left their country and left their men to die alone. turns out Women are not patriotic towards their nation and not even their loved man. Ukrainian women should go back and defend their nation. Because, without their loved man, they not gonna be treated well anyways. lets go women, prove to world that you modern women and equal, because your man is on battle field alone honey.
not sure if i believe it having worked in reactors etc.
you cannot blow up a reactor folks..follow the science
you may have some radiation leak but trust me there is something askew

Russian defense ministry report March 04, 2022. 05:30 p.m. The group of troops of the Lugansk People's Republic, continuing offensive operations, captured the settlements of Shandrigolovo, Aleksandrovka, Darilovo, Sredne, Lozovoe. The armed forces of the Donetsk People's Republic took control of the settlements of Rozovka, Truzhenka, Znamenovka and Puzatoye. Subdivisions of the Russian Armed Forces continue their offensive on a broad front. Acting on the adjacent flanks with units of the Donetsk Republic, the settlements of Pyatikhatki, Shevchenkovo, Pologi, Gusarka, Novodanilovka and Shcherbaki were taken under control. I would like to emphasize that the retreating nationalist units in Donbass, formed in the Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk regions, are causing damage to the critically important social infrastructure and life-support facilities of the population. The greatest damage is done to power and water supply systems. The purpose of such actions is to create a humanitarian catastrophe in the Donbass. In the city of Kharkov, Ukrainian nationalists are preparing a provocation with the participation of Western journalists. According to confirmed data, on Zhilardi Street, Kievsky District, in the private sector, multiple rocket launch systems are placed between houses. Nationalists forbid local residents, including children, from leaving their homes. Now the facilities are ready to shell the units of the Russian armed forces located outside the city. The purpose of the provocation is to push back the Russian artillery fire on the residential sector of Kharkov. All this is planned to be filmed on cameras with the subsequent transfer of the footage to Western journalists. The Russian armed forces provide assistance to the residents of the settlements liberated from the nationalists. Today at 12:00, at the request of the Kherson administration, the Russian military delivered more than 140 tons of food and medicine to the city. All humanitarian cargo has been handed over for distribution to the local population. We will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to Ukrainian residents in need of support.,.

AHH DONT FORGET THERE IS A SWINGING DICK SOMEWHERE ELSE IT CAN BRING US BACK TO TIME MACHINE!! WHAT A WORLD HAHAHA GOOD LUCK TO US.
My heart breaks for the people of Ukraine
Zelenskyy:" ordered my soldiers to attack the nuclear plant, in order for Europe to move.. I am ready to do anything to involve Europe in the war"If Europe is afraid of Putin's nuclear weapon, I will threaten it with my nuclear plants.
Glosnas is an impressive GPS system..the Russians are pin point precision accuracy and even have the confidence to fire at a nuclear plant taking out a target within it without fear of losing it… very impressive technology.
Fortunately Russia is in control. Zelensky and his nazi militias would have blown up the nuclear plant to please their Black Hats masters and then blame Russia.
Turn off the false news people.
Why the Hell would the Russians want a nuclear meltdown when the power plant is only a hundred miles away from the Russian and Belorussian border? There are millions of ethnic Russians who are in Ukraine too. The first thing Russians did was to capture Chernobyl nuclear plant and now they guard it with joined Ukrainian forces. This is Iraqi WMD yellow journalism again. Only the psychopaths who are Ukrainian Neo-Nazis like Azov and Right Sector with the help from CIA or MI6 can do this kind of false flag operation. You should remember false flag gas attack in Douma, Syria in 2018 that was blamed on Assad.
Navy seals is coming
