(725 posts)There is a resistance movement in Zaporozhye. Just because people are ethnically Ukrainian doesn't mean they support the fascists in Kiev. It remains to be seen what develops there but Kiev has written the area off and it is under the control of Kolomoisky, the oligarch who paid bounties for demonstrators killed in the Odessa massacre and financier of some of the neo nazi battalions. Obviously, the resistance would never target a nuclear plant and poison their own land and ethnically cleanse themsleves but I wouldn't put it past Kolomoisky. There's already concern that he will blow up a dam:

During the Maidan coup, Right Sector commandeered a nuclear plant. What they thought they could do with it I have no clue but it was concerning, nevertheless. Then we have Tymoshenko who suggested nuking east Ukraine and the other politician she said that to didn't even express any objections. It was all about how to get rid of the Russian speaking population. So, there's a lot of insanity at work among the regime. They've already show they're willing to commit mass murder so shelling a nuclear facility doesn't seem outside of what they're capable of.
