    So, Russia has troops inside the power plant, and they are apparently holding workers at gunpoint so they keep producing electricity. Ukraine, as expected, has decided not to attack those Russian troops and endanger the rest of us in the world, while stupid Russians are shelling their own positions and halting the production that they themselves are attempting to keep going. They are probably not stopping even when the prospect of a nuclear catastrophe is pushing international forces to act, as Mr Zelenskyy has many times requested, probably eventually expelling Russian forces from the area. As stupid as they are, they don’t realize that the attacks they are performing only benefit the military interests of Ukraine, and not their own… Thankfully, that Chinese official has stated that "all parties […] exercise maximum restraint”, and by “all parties” we should of course understand they’re referring specifically to Russia, just like the article states in its title, as they are clearly the ones performing the attacks.

    Edit: /s, for the sake of fuck

      Russia should withdraw its military from the power plant. Using it as cover for their soldiers and ammunition is cowardly and a huge safety risk for the civilian population.

      As for the comments on here talking about western MSM bias - give me a break. There is one aggressor here, a crazy russian authoritarian regime and army attacking a democratic country under some very ridiculous pretenses. Not to mention the disgusting way they have targeted the civilians.

      Is this a parody? Or do you really believe that Russia is shooting at its own troops, and at territory it completely controls?

        I was being sarcastic, yes. For some reason, people are just accepting that narrative (hey, people have different versions of the facts, I can understand that) without even questioning whether it makes sense at all.
