Russian forces seize huge Ukrainian nuclear plant

[Etranger]

Russian troops are shelling the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. These actions could lead to catastrophe all over the world. Anyone familiar with Chornobyl should understand that only one nuclear reactor exploded in 1986. There are 6 such reactors at the Zaporizhzhya station. The destruction of the station, where Russian soldiers fire from tanks and mortars, could be fatal not only for Ukraine but for the entire continent.
The world community must stop the Russian army, which is committing crimes against humanity!

I've read articles on this subject and I think Russia's actions this time have gone insane. Their actions by attacking a vital object like this almost killed millions of people in Europe. There must be further action regarding this Russian action because their actions are beyond human understanding, they have played with millions of human lives.

According to BBC the attack didn't cause any severe damage none of the safety systems at the plant were affected, and there was no release of radioactive material.

Putin seized the nuclear power stations and use them to demand NATO withdrawal from Eastern Europe and to stop the delivery of weapons to Ukraine.

If NATO will not comply, he will blow them up.

Yeah, so let`s wait for these serious damage to happen. Waiting is the best decision. We have already waited for sanctions to be imposed on Russia. This only happened after a few days of full-scale war. After only a few thousand people killed on both sides, destroyed cities and the total horror of the entire population of my country.

You're going a bit too far here don't you think 

No, I don`t. I have lived all my life in the country where Chornobyl exploded. The consequences are not very pleasant. You can believe it now, or we can all wait for it to happen again. Then you will have direct access to information.

Someone's going too far here but it's not really the OP, it's the senile KGBist in the Kremlin (or more likely in a bunker in Ural). There is no sane reason for invaders to go anywhere near the nuclear power plants.

The whole "calm down, it didn't blow up this time" nonsense is just so fucking stupid.

I haven't saw any statement from Putin similar to this. Some Russia's officials says this could lead to a nuclear war but blown up a nuclear power plant is not Putin wants to do. There was a fire broke out when RF shelling Ukrainian position there but there is not much damage happens. Some rumors spread that there was a radiation leak but that was also found false.

If so, Putin would be the second Hitler to kill millions of people in Europe. This man has really gone mad, but NATO and its allies are just silent about their actions and only dare to impose sanctions. smh

Of course, Putin won`t make any statement about this. Haven't you learned his tactics yet? He claimed for 8 years that "they are not there" in Donbass. It took several days of full-scale war for him to finally admit that they had dead soldiers. But even so they died in some "special operation" incomprehensible to anyone. Backstage games have become a cultural code of Russia. Putin never publicly admits that he is blackmailing the Ukrainian government and NATO in this way. But he only fools his own people with such behavior. Everyone else has long understood everything.

I don't believe (or at least I find it hard to believe) that Putin actually wants to blow up Ukraine's nuclear plants. The fire that broke out at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant wasn't within the reactor's area, although things can easily take a turn for the worst, shelling it is potentially sending a message, by showing a sample of what he is capable of doing.

I highly doubt it that the purpose of the attack was to cause a nuclear explosion, because that would eventually mean the end of humanity as we know it. I'm not excluding this scenario by any means, if Putin's invasion isn't successful, he might as well take the whole world with him, rather than face NATO and the EU, he won't have anything else to lose, and that's what makes him dangerous.

Totally agree i think putin is trying to keep civilian casualties  as low as possible in this war to not further provoke NATO members that's why we haven't see any major bombing campaigns and airstrikes (which the russian army is very capable of doing ), so putin wanting to destroy a nuclear power plant and ultimately turning that area to a nuclear waste land is not something you want to do if your goal is to seize a country without causing unnecessary attention.

It takes a special kind of stupid to actually believe that 'Putin shelled the nuclear plant'.  I'm pleasantly surprised that you didn't fall for that one to be honest.

Of course a nuclear power facility is a pretty big thing, and this one in particular.  The Rooshins would know all about how it is layed out because they built the fuckin thing (I'm making an educated guess here.)  If certain areas of the facility were slightly damaged in fighting it wouldn't surprise me.  It also wouldn't surprise me if factions aligned with Ukraine did some level of sabotage in some sort of ham-fisted false-flag propaganda effort.  Or if some of the products went missing in the 'fog of war'.  Or all of the above.

I don't know if you missed it but Putin has bombed civillians deperately and repeatedly. He has targeted residential areas, hospitals and schools where no military infrastructure is located: https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1499633290004905985
Luckily we have internet and everyone can see Putin's war crimes.

May Russia be wise in taking over Chornobyl and not use it rashly. One nuclear reactor that once exploded had a very terrible effect, don't let it happen again.
I've heard Putin's remarks about nuclear, and I believe that Putin and Russia are not so barbaric to destroy the world without really strong reasons.

Maybe they don't plan to do it on purpose. However, there are military units at the  nuclear plant that Moscow does not control. They can act on their own, and no one can be sure that their actions are appropriate.

Putin on the other hand doesn't admit that any kind of bombing has been committed by his side. I can't understand if he actually thinks that the world is stupid and isn't aware of the bombarded cities. Let's blame the Ukrainians, they are bombing their own cities just for show, it's all a conspiracy theory.

You have to be seriously fucked in the head to think that there might possibly exist "really strong reasons" to destroy the world.

Or you're just shitposting random phrases with no clue what you're talking about.

[evilgreed]

               Ffs. The entire thing is not right, regardless of how it is sugarcoated. You don't go into another country's nuclear plant and use it as a bargaining chip to satisfy your wants. This has been going on long enough. The effects it's having on the people involved is no joke and are obviously irreversible. With over 5k sanctions which is several times higher than on Iran (about 3k), Putin is also puting his own people into hell with him. I really don't get this guy anymore no matter how much I try and give reason to his actions; benefit of the doubt. Sigh...
