⚡️ Russia is using a nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine as an army base. The allegations we are receiving directly from Enerhodar, the town adjacent to the nuclear plant, speak volumes about the terrible impact of Russia’s militarization is having on civilians.



I "love" those guys. Allegations. Militarization... Using as soft words as possible.  When will they start calling the Russian invasion a special military operation?

My brother got a leave for 5 days, so I met him for the first time since February. He looks so much older now...

I am so happy to know that he had enough time to train and that their equipment is of satisfactory quality. I expected everything to be so much worse, that year of 2022 will be the year of desperate guerilla resistance all over Ukraine.

Of course not, I have many pessimistic predictions about the future but so far everything is going better less bad than one could imagine.

We have a very long war ahead

Artillery crewman. Currently, in this thing:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2S1_Gvozdika donated to us by one of the Eastern European countries.

As he described his combat role - shoot several rounds and GTFO because counter-battery fire WILL arrive minutes later. Nearly always.

The Russian Tech Tree has unlocked counter-battery fire, but apparently not the Shoot & Scoot.

Eh, they're academics. I'm just glad they got around to acknowledging the Russian Nuclear Hostage scenario.

But acknowledging it does nothing to stop them from using the plant as a base.

Petition? There's really not much else they (can) do.

Ah yes, and their slogan is naturally: "Vigilantes of the World, Unite!"

But acknowledging it does nothing to stop them from using the plant as a base.

What it DOES do is acknowledge that Russia is at fault if anything happens to the plant.

This is huge.  It gives Russia what they hate the most: Accountability.

This also opens the door to petitioning for neutral inspectors to make sure the plant is properly secured and regulated.

The plant is being run (“run”) by Ukrainian technicians so even if neutral inspectors highlight issues, Russia will say it’s Ukraine’s fault, unless it can be directly related to the presence of Russia soldiers, in which case Russia will say it’s Ukraine’s fault.
