The possible undermining of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant by Russian troops will affect the whole world and affect Europe.

This was stated by the head of the NATO Military Committee, Rob Bauer, in an interview with the LBC channel.

"If this happens, then this is a much more serious problem than just a military problem or something just for NATO. This is something that the whole world will be involved in, this will have a large impact on Europe" - said the head of the NATO Military Committee.

It's likely nothing.

But after Russia blew the Kakhovka Dam and caused massive environmental destruction which will last dozens of years, destroyed the lives of thousands, and the worlds reaction was largely to just shrug it off and move on, a downright pathetic reaction, maybe Russia feels more emboldened to cause damage to the nuclear power plant, knowing that once again, the west will likely just pathetically shrug it off.

Again, it's likely nothing, I wouldn't panic, but I wouldn't put it past them to try to cause some permanent damage to the plant to put it out of commission so that Ukraine can't repair it and cause Ukraine a major economic loss long-term. I don't think they'll cause radiation damage but then again, they're so fucking stupid and incompetent that they may do it accidentally.

West should make clear that blowing up the power plant is our red line, should also say any intentional destruction to the power plant will cause an extreme escalation in our support towards Ukraine, new severe sanction packages, new military aid packages, lifting of restrictions on certain weaponry (no range limits for Ukraine, allowing Ukraine to use Western equipment on Russian soil, etc).

“Russia has lost nearly half the combat effectiveness of its army,” 🇬🇧’s Radakin said. “Last year it fired 10mn artillery shells but at best can produce 1mn shells a year. It has lost 2,500 tanks and at best can produce 200 [new] tanks a year,” he said.

A Ukrainian counteroffensive against Russian forces has been "particularly fruitful" in the past few days and Ukraine's troops are fulfilling their main tasks, a senior security official said on Tuesday.

Just saw a video of Russia using a T-90M as a fixed artillery unit, unbelievable, it ended with the T-90M being hit by counter-artillery and the Russian inside of it being killed.
