The agency’s chief, Kyrylo Budanov, has alleged Moscow has approved a plan to blow up the station and has mined four out of six power units, as well as a cooling pond. Last week Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said Russia was plotting a “terrorist attack”.

Fuck putler, this can trigger a world war
- Is there a way they could blow it up without making a radioactive cloud? "Power units" could refer the the radioactive bits or just turbines and/or alternators.
  
  They didn't strictly mined the power units, but also the cooling pool, so... all of those are set up to cause a meltdown. The article point that out.
This is some scary shit
Little late now but I suggest we make some changes on our energy policy in the west. We can encourage renewable energy sources while at the same time supporting our conventional energy companies. Failing to do this has resulted in countries like Russia becoming energy giants. And all that money they make at our expense does not encourage world security.
- We need to build more nuclear power plants. It's the best solution.
  
  Fully agree. I been encouraging nuclear before global warming was mainstream.
It feels like NATO and allies are just letting this happen. That poor country has had so much shit piled on it, Ukraine deserves better.
