Russia’s Gone Nuclear in Ukraine—With Power Plants, not Missiles

The U.S. State Department and the United Nations called for a demilitarized zone around the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in southeastern Ukraine today, as the Kremlin’s chaotic four months managing Europe’s largest nuclear energy facility has raised concerns of a Chernobyl-like meltdown.

 

In a statement, a State Department spokesperson called the fighting around Zaporizhzhia “dangerous and irresponsible” after the plant was shelled earlier today for the second time in recent days, which led to rounds of finger-pointing from both sides. Ukrainian officials have accused Russian troops of using the plant as a nuclear shield after deploying rocket launchers to the facility and turning it into an impromptu military base.

Yes Scott just been watching BBC News where they have reported that up to 500 troops have moved in and are holding the Nuclear workers at gunpoint. It is also being reported that they have deployed missile systems inside to launch attacks knowing Ukrainian forces will not attack the site. All G7 members have said ALL Russian forces must leave the site.  In my opinion, if Russian forces start using the Nuclear site as a base for launching missiles United Nations troops must be deployed to remove them as Russia is threatening the safety of all of Europe.
