Earlier quoted context omitted.

It was on fire (in flames) about 10 minutes ago (according to local news). I just hope for the best.

https://www.segodnya.ua/regions/zaporozhye/ukrainu-zhdet-vto... Says the NPP has some defenses from air attacks. So it may be war-proof after all.

I would be very surprised if it wasn't warproof. Soviets planned for it, they were preparing the entire population for it even in the satellite states.

Ukraine is an electricity exporter according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electrici... . Is targeting electricity production a de-facto attack on EU infrastructure? Would taking out Ukraine's electricity generation increase its dependence on Russia (who could sell it), and significantly increase the EU's dependence on Russian gas?

Ukraine isn't in the EU. Using this argument would mean the US blowing up oil infrastructure in the Middle East was also an attack on EU infrastructure.

sorry for posting someone's random FB posts in a foreign language (he is an ukrainian and pro-ukraine, but writes in russian), but I'm in dire need of any calming words so - take it or leave it - https://www.facebook.com/100000645568776/posts/5079227385442... among other things, he said, three days ago, that even artillery won't blow it up unless they would shoot at it directly for a very long time, due to some kind…

Nuclear reactors require active cooling after shutdown, containment buildings are only temporary.

Ever heard of Fukushima?

nice thread (this account is good to follow) disproving Ukrainiang propaganda, Western media saying Russians attacked nuclear power plant and put it on fire, while Russians entered without any shooting and then were shot at by Ukrainians causing fire in administrative building, so much for relying on Western media making money on causing panic and spreading misinformation
