Russia Captures Largest Nuclear Plant In Europe, Threatens To Turn Out Lights In Ukraine

The saga continues with no end in sight.

During a trip to the region of Zaporizhzhia on Wednesday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said the southeastern Ukrainian region could also join "the friendly Russian family." "That's why I came here, to help with integration as much as possible," he told reporters.
quote:
He also indicated that Russia could cut off Ukraine from the Zaporizhzhia plant, which has been captured by Russian troops, unless Kyiv pays Moscow for electricity. "If the energy system of Ukraine is ready to receive and pay, then (the plant) will work for Ukraine. If not, then (the plant) will work for Russia," Khusnullin said, referring to Europe's largest nuclear plant.
quote:
Russians "do not have the technical capacity to supply energy from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to Russia or Crimea", Energoatom spokesman Leonid Oliynyk told AFP. "This requires cost and time," he said. "And in a month or two we will have everything under Ukrainian control again."

In 2021, before the outbreak of conflict, the plant accounted for one-fifth of Ukraine's annual electricity production.

But the heroic Ukrainian soldiers are "nailing" Russian tanks. Pew pew pew.

That is kindling. The US will making new hypersonic printers to go “BRRRRRRRRRR” even faster.

Kinda weird how this plant wasn't one of the most fortified places in Ukraine during this war.

It was captured on March 3rd or 4th, at the start of the invasion. This thread title is slightly misleading in that regard as it makes it sound like they just took it.

Wow they took it easier than I thought.

Russian don’t have a great history with nuclear plants….
In other news POTATUS is going to empty the remainder of our strategic oil reserves to supply Ukraine with energy.

In Southern Ukraine, they rolled in fairly unopposed. I've seen commentary from the Ukrainians that suggested collaborators in the Ukrainian military facilitated the invasion in the south. If you look at the map since then, The Russians haven't really advanced since early March.

It’s a quagmire.
