Zelensky: “Russia blew up their own power plant! HA! Stop hitting yourself, Russia!”
The Western media was just following the Zelensky party line, saying that Russia was bombing itself again.
This is the on-going meme: whenever the UAF does anything totally insane, the media just says Russia did it.
At what point do journalists become complicit in this pending nuclear disaster. This ridiculous article in the Guardian accuses Russia of mining and shelling the nuclear power plant it has controlled since march. Stop the propaganda and send in the IAEA t.co/FoXHF1gAZX

However, with this latest round of attacks by the Ukraine on a nuclear power plant in Russian held territory on Tuesday, the media is just talking about “attacks” on the nuclear plant without saying who is doing it.

Can you think of any potential act more desperate than bombing a nearby nuclear site?
RT:
The Ukrainian military has fired multiple rockets directly at coolant systems and nuclear waste storage site inside the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Energodar, local government administration member Vladimir Rogov told Russian media on Tuesday. He warned that a successful strike may result in a radiation release equivalent to a “dirty bomb.”
“One of the guided missiles hit just ten meters” from the barrels with spent nuclear fuel,” Rogov told Soloviev Live. “Others hit a bit farther away, 50 to 200 meters.”
Since the storage site is out in t
he open, any hit will result in the release of nuclear waste ranging from dozens to hundreds of kilograms and contamination of the area, the official explained. “In plain language, that would be like a dirty bomb,” said Rogov.
While the reactor itself can only be destroyed with a tactical nuclear weapon, the coolant systems and waste storage are far more vulnerable and damage to them could easily cause a disaster, the official said. Ukrainian troops have already fired “several dozen” heavy projectiles at the cooling systems, Rogov added. If they succeed in disabling such a system, it could produce a meltdown bigger than the 1986 catastrophe at Chernobyl.
