    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.

          I mean, if they want to they definitely could, but starting WWIII over this shit? That’s insane. (Not to mention the nuclear disaster)

            I think we have clearly established in the past year that any sense of rationality from the Russian government is already out of the window.

              I definitely have no delusions of their competence at this point. I still hold tenuously to the idea they want to live.
