This is bad !

Yeah I was watching the markets when all of a sudden crypto and stock markets are going down rapidly. Then I checked the news and they said they blew up a nuclear reactor. However as time went on there was more and more reports coming in that the news is false.

Basically some admin building caught fire and not the reactors. I think the reactors are down. And the markets pretty much reversed most of the moves.

Either way, not smart or normal to have a war zone near a nuclear reactor. No idea what is going thru their minds.

Can you provide that link here? I have not found any reports that are news false. It would be terrible if the Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant exploded.
There is a report after the second negotiation, the two countries have agreed to establish a humanitarian corridor and the possibility of a ceasefire. These are significant steps forward, hopefully they will soon reach an agreement and end the war.

I don't know what they are thinking. If a Chernobyl-type nuclear event occurs, it will also affect Russia. Maybe it's like saying to the world: "be careful, our nuclear threat is serious". But it will affect them, so I don't understand it very well. And does Putin believe that if radioactivity from that plant reaches Russia he will have more popular support? Or does he not care?

nuclear is the most dangerous weapon on this world, so i cant imagine how much area it can destroy in Ukraine and surely Russia will be affected on the impact if they release it since their country is very close.

Putin is out or his mind if he do that because it's really a serious matter that can take so many lives even innocent people.

President Putin is making a reckless move that will cost so many lives in Europe and taking the war towards a nuclear power plant is not a proper step. What kind of intention does he have for the Europeans? Although the power plant was not affected because the Ukrainian Military intervened but, it's a huge risk for the world to sit back and watch such a trait on a nuclear reactor. The blast will cause a lot of catastrophe.

His intentions is to instigate other countries into joining in the fight because he wants to make sure that he's going to launch his missiles and he's old so he's going senile. He wants to make as much damage in Ukraine as much as possible in the case that his invasion fails. He's doing a mini scorch earth policy.

This could very well be an accident and not the exact target. I mean, I imagine the Russian army wants to take control of the plant, but I doubt they have plans to destroy it because that would have a serious radiation release that would actually hurt the Russians. What I am seeing is that the Russian army is full of kids playing with guns, and I wouldn't rule out a stupid miscalculation here. Glad to see the firefighters have that under control because this is no less scary than all-out nuclear war, at least for us Europeans.

It seems that Russia has now started targeting vital facilities belonging to Ukraine and one of them is the nuclear power plant, to be honest I can't imagine if the reactor exploded, because according to the Ukrainian foreign minister, the power plant has 6 reactors which contain materials nuclear fuel, if the six reactors exploded, of course, it would cause many victims and even 10 times bigger than the Chernobyl explosion that occurred in 1986, the Chernobyl explosion resulted in 350,000 local residents having to out 10 to 30 kilometers from the center of the Chernobyl explosion and imagine if blow up the power plant 10 times bigger :'(.

The media is running rampant with a story that are not entirely true. They did not attack the actual plant it self, but one of the out buildings. So the power plant is still intact and in a working order.

Russia cannot afford to take over the Ukraine with another Chernobyl disaster happening in one of their nuclear power plants. This power plant supplies almost 25% of the Ukraine's power, so it is a key target for the Russians to control.  ;)

Also, if this power plant explodes... the Nuclear fallout will also reach Russia and the rest of Europe and that will end Putin's reign, because his own people will remove him from power.  ;)

This is a dangerous move that could hurt people around the world, and doing something we should consider the consequences.
It may be that Russia wants to reduce Ukraine's combat power, but this is undoubtedly an irrational move. Everyone is very concerned about the war, and I hope the war can end soon. Don't let innocent people die.

There is a video clip on the news channels that shows how the Russian forces shoot at the nuclear reactor blocks. Then the fire starts and the shooting continues. Had that reactor exploded it would have had catastrophic results. I am just glad that the fire was put out in time.

I do not want to talk about the details of the accident because it is a political and military issue given the developments in that region, but let's talk about the economic details if a nuclear accident occurs.

I do not expect the price to react negatively, especially since even if that incident happened, it would not lead to a world war and therefore energy prices would increase, which means an increase in inflation, including an increase in stocks and digital currencies.

There is no direct correlation to the Bitcoin price change by about 3%, which is normal in the market.

Let's not talk about the nuclear power plant in Ukraine, it's the biggest plant in the whole of Europe and at the same time if something happens there the results could be as worse as Chernobyl*10 which does mean that the destruction and take centuries to recover, I do think that people, animals, everything will die in a massive radius and this would also affect Russia as well, the radioactive sand and wind would make it so much worse for everyone. People are fleeing to the west but soon enough it might not work for them as well, the only region that would be safe from the nuclear poisoning would be precarpathian region and this would exhaust everything in Ukraine. This might be the last straw since now Belarus and Kazakhstan are also considering joining the war against Ukraine therefore we might be in for world war 3. This is terrible.

For those who want more specifics, here you go

Seems like Russia took control of the nuclear plant, and the one that was bombed was, thankfully, not the nuclear reactors themselves. I have no idea who the bloody hell initiated the idea but he's a madman in the realm of madmen, that could've made an entire country disappear off the face of the planet. I don't know if they accurately planned on the shelling (I hope they did, that at least leaves them with still a bit of reasoning ), but just the act of doing it, even if it was planned to avoid the plant itself, is enough to condemn them, much more than it is right now.

It doesn't seem like there were big changes to the market itself, it still looks like the steady movement we've always seen. I'd still on the opinion that the market would only react positively to anything that plays out with the war, whatever it may be.

Putin doesn't care, he doesn't look it either,  he is full of vengeance and will do anything possible to punish Ukraine, if he cares he would have seized fire by now with all the sanctions slammed on Russia,  the currency is falling, the economy is bad but he doesn't seem to be worried about any of those. I sincerely hope the news is not true, that will be detrimental.

It is nothing more than destruction and to take over the government of Ukraine. Putin wants Zelensky out of government and he is doing everything to achieve that aim. He sent new reinforcement that is looking more fierce and powerful and that made kherson to fall yesterday. The effect of the Russian Army is now seriously felt in Ukraine and blowing up the nuclear power plant is going to be devastating effect on Ukraine.

Putin says he wants to demilitarize Ukrainian, but he said yesterday that the more they penetrate Ukraine the more the ambition will change, but above all, it is still that he wants Ukraine to fall in a way the Ukraine will completely be controlled by Russia. That man has done more than harming, many people have died because of this war. If Nato can give Russia this advantage, I will expect China to be planning to take over Taiwan and also Russia ambition can be beyond taking over Ukraine.

It was actually the Zaporizhzhia  which been attack by Russia and this is really terrible action made by them since this can totally ignite the nuclear war towards this country

Check this link for the news https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/03/04/russia-ukraine-latest-updates.html

Putin is so aggressive to cease Ukraine and take the control of that country. Hopefully he will be enlightened that this is to much and many civilians are already suffering towards his decision made.

Currently, Russia target of conquering Ukraine has not been realized, while the Russian economy is slowly starting to experience a worsening crisis. Where will they get the food supplies for the soldiers to be able to successfully conquer Ukraine? or will run out of stock before that happens. there are several reasons why until now Ukraine is difficult to penetrate, first, the Russian army does not recognize the battlefield and the location of the snipers that have been prepared by Ukraine. Putin was briefly overwhelmed and now the invasion also deviates from the original plan for a 7-day ambush to overthrow power. Both Ukraine owns the media, and process all the news with the United States and NATO who have access to manage information. Many Russian media are blocked so that access to information will be minimal.

The war and advantage that Russia is taking over Ukraine is that Ukraine not in NATO countries. It is not part of NATO and that make it that NATO can't stand for them on the war. They can support them with some sanctions but not that they do join the war and fight Russia. This is a call of example to countries who are standing alone on there own to join groups or aligns so in the times of fighting then they can get help physically.

Why not? When this is also a serious issue and it is still related to the war that were happening now. I am familiar with nuclear but not really into its effects, the way you describe it looks so scary. Now, I know why Russia has been targeting it because this can make their work easier as the destruction covered with this is too wide but did Russia already forget that it can also affect them or their own country? They are truly insane if they still want this to happen.

Another bad thing is if there are two countries that will join the war against Ukraine. The more we want the war to stop the more it gets worst. Oh god, what in the world is happening now.

I was glad to hear that it was just inaccurate reporting but it really showed how even crypto can heavily fluctuate with real world events whereas before many believed it'll react the opposite way.


I think Putin would actually use the threat of going after these reactors if NATO get too involved. It's a "If I can't have Ukraine, no one would" move.

Guys, calm down.

Zaporizhzhia has PWR nuclear reactors, it's not a RBMK type.
The coolant has two separate circuits preventing direct contamination, it has no graphite rods, it hs a different scram control where there rods are ejected when power drops completely, and more importantly, it's far more stable than any RBMK model because it has a negative void coefficient, the higher the temperature goes the less radioactive the core is a completely different story

Second, the reactor is not behind some wall of concrete as you see in the communist block of flats that are being blown away all over Ukraine, it is sheltered by a concrete dome that will stand almost everything other than heavy bunker penetrating bombs.

The worst-case scenario will be a Fukushima if they blow everything up including the spent fuel depots or in case of a direct hit at most something like Three Mile Island.

If this is the cause for both BTC and the stock market going down it's really impossible to comprehend.

 

I couldn't sleep last night because of this. It was around 4 am where I lived when this was first reported, so I just stayed awake until 8 am to hear about anything I could hear, and I couldn't sleep, so in the morning I worked about it, but then I had to go to bed when I heard that reportedly it wasn't the nuclear plant that got hit, and just some building near it and they just closed it and now if energy sources are untouched, it could be cooled down and that would be the end of it and no problems.

Not guaranteed until this day, we are still not sure at all but at the end of the day I would suggest both armies to back off from that plant, literally just back off, that is way too dangerous to play war there.

Two countries are blaming each other eith their version of what happened but they shouldn't bomb shelling the nuclear power plant at any cost but now it is under control of Russia and they said fires didn't affect any nuclear reactors but Ukraine is going to shut down soon if Russia don't let the power to go out of the plant.

I heard this on the news a few days ago, but I don't think Russia is really going to do this, what Russia doing is kinda threatening some countries they want to say while we are attacking Ukraine if any country enters our fight and start helping and support Ukraine we can easily press the button of the nuclear bombs that's why many countries are scared and they won't support Ukraine directly with they army because supporting Ukraine bu USA or any other country can start the nuclear war, that's why Russia threatening the world like that.

Puttin has very bad mind plans towards the people of Ukraine. He does want to cause catastrophic damage that will shock the whole world. Thank God for his aim didn't work out cos it would have shattered the people of Ukraine.
Upon all the sanctions given to Russia, Puttin is still evading Ukraine, that's to tell you how mean and terrible he can be

Let the idiot Putin continue destroying his country by his actions by drawing so many sanctions to Russia. Economy, football, entertainment and others are getting sanctioned in Russia by Europe. Let us watch how Russia will come out of all this. He brags because of his nuclear ammunitions and want to make himself another Adolph Hitler. The world will also conquer him too.

A few days ago, Russian troops captured the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and a little later the nuclear power plant in Energodar. Moreover, the invaders fired directly from artillery at the first nuclear reactor in Energodar, a fire broke out there, but no increase in radiation was recorded.
Ukraine has previously voluntarily renounced nuclear weapons in exchange for guarantees of the security of world states, including Russia. But there are 15 nuclear reactors on the territory of Ukraine. Of course, it is foolish to intentionally bombard nuclear reactors, because then the radiation will surely cover Russia as well. We see the inadequate political and military leadership of the Russian Federation, which is pushing the world to the end of human civilization. This is one of the reasons why the world community must take all measures to stop this war, and the sanctions must be the toughest.

Putin really looks arrogant with his decision because of the many sanctions given to Russia,
all sectors are sanctioned as a result of what Putin did to Ukraine,
apart from that I think they Russia must have a plan so that Putin is not afraid because of the sanctions imposed

Russia might be stupid but not that as to evade the country to destroy nuclear plants, disable it or blow it. Nuclear power is the next big thing for the Russia and it can simply become the power house of Russia. It could be to reuse the palladium from the nuclear core for weaponising it or may be simply to use the electricity.

Whatever might be the use, it’s bad for rest of the world. Obviously stocks and shares are gonna have bumpy ride these days as the war is uncertain and it can destroy many industrial areas with direct/indirect impact.

Crypto however will bounce back pretty fast as people starts to know it’s independence lies there.

if you look at it from the russian side, they just want to defend their country against all odds. this war exists because ukraine wants to join NATO. if from the beginning ukraine became a neutral country and did not side with anyone, i don't think this would have happened. So we can't judge that Putin is an idiot, it's just a matter of point of view. Speaking of sanctions, Russia can still fight back by stopping gas supplies for Europe. if this happens there will probably be problems on the plains of europe later.

Already the war by the order of Putin is brutal and unjustified. Once again Putin won't go for a nuclear war, but people are worried on the threatening from Putin launching a nuclear attack. Before the invasion Russia have tested nuclear capable missiles. Putin mentioned that Russia remains one of the powerful nuclear states and countries favouring Ukraine will face the consequences. In such a way Russia with the nuclear power in hands show them powerful to the world.

The nuclear power station in Ukraine have been attacked, but that hasn't caused a big destruction and there is no official information from Ukraine regarding disaster due to the attack.

Power cut at Chernobyl, so it might be possible that radioactive substance can be released. Precaution should be taken as soon as possible, in other case seems to be heading towards another blast? Ukraine authority blames Russia for power cut as Chernobyl and says it could cause atomic release. Ukraine already warns of possible radiation spillage after power cut at Chernobyl atomic plant. Allow Putin to take care about it, his force is there. Unless he'll be a reason to escalate his absurd stupidity. Let's see whether Ukraine authority talk falsehoods and propagandists!

What do you want from the world terrorist state? You see how it ended "in 3 days to capture the whole of Ukraine, the strongest army in the world." What remains of the crazy, pitiful parody of Hitler and the fascist people? That's right, after losing the clashes, start to conduct a terrorist massacre - to destroy residential areas, cities, villages, schools and hospitals. Oh, people are not afraid? Doesn't give up? Well, then we will arrange nuclear terror! We will seize nuclear stations and will try to arrange the consequences of the "dirty bomb" type. Russia and the Russians are a bastard, fascist, terrorist regime. I hope that in total there will be a complete collapse and destruction of this world sewer!

Putin is not just arrogant but he is also mean and evil as well. For one simple reason, you could always have something you disagree with, you could always say that Nato is attacking your freedom and lands and so forth, but nobody fired a single bukllet and you were the first one, then you are always wrong.

There will NEVER be a good reason to fire a gun, never, and if you did it to "protect" yourself, then you can't be the one that shoots the first bullet. If you did, then it wasn't to protect yourself. All in all I would suggest that Putin is evil because he just made up a lie and he used Wests friendly approach to Ukraine as a way to attack and take some places.

He may possibly resort to nuclear war just to show about the power that he can unleash. We don't know his plans but it seems he is now in suicidal mode as more and more countries are condemning this aggression. His soldiers are getting tired and killed. Definitely, this war will have long lasting impact on their country. Now, it is said that Russians are in rush to open Chinese bank accounts.

https://www.reuters.com/business/exclusive-russian-firms-rush-open-chinese-bank-accounts-sanctions-bite-sources-2022-03-03/

An operational message has just arrived from the APU Headquarters - a sabotage group has arrived on the territory of the Chernobyl NPP. There is information that the possible task of the group is to prepare an operation to organize a terrorist attack involving nuclear waste to create the effect of a "dirty bomb". Europe, NATO - are you still afraid of "confrontation with Russia"? Yes, remember one thing - if Ukraine does not resist, the fascist dwarf plans to get other territories, including Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and possibly part of Poland. Will the EU and NATO also sit back?

Well, there is something that must be recognized, Putin may be very bad, but he has a much higher than average intellect and every step he takes in this war is very measured:

1.- He sends inexperienced soldiers, almost children and they achieve something, some die, but they achieve goals.

2.-For operations of extreme control and extreme care, he sends a few elite soldiers to guarantee victory.

3.- He Takes nuclear power plants, or nuclear plants because he knows that through panic, he can succeed.

Given this scenario, they have not yet sent a real Russian army, with the training they really have, and yet they have achieved many things, they know that they are fighting with a whole Ukrainian arsenal that is struggling to stand up, it's like in chess, you use the pawns to see which one is going to crown, and the one that crowns becomes the queen, this is something very complicated, for me Ukraine needs now or now the intervention of NATO, it is difficult to resist with only the heart, it is needed of allies and with experience.

Yes the president has called for support from NATO, EU and US to sefe the souls of his people before Russians finish them but US not looking to come in directly in the war with Russia because that is going to be dangerous but they give humanitarian help to rescue and evaquate Ukrainians and donations from EU also to help the Ukrainians. The war is getting serious by the day and putin is not stopping from the attack.

It may interest you to know that Russia has raw materials to build their own weapons most of the weapon used for the war can be produced locally in Russia. Consider the numerous ban and sanctions on the Russian Government but, they still persist and fight everyday to bring down Ukraine which have posed stronger than Putin thought in the first place before shooting missiles on their territory. Russia can stay longer on the attack despite the fall of their economy.
