So did Ukraine gain any advantage yesterday?

Not so much a lie, but  Progozhin underestimating the Russian Defense Forces or overestimating his position. I wouldn't be surprised the Russian knew about it but weren't sure of the timing. Once it launched, the Russians seemed to cap it off fairly quickly.

Russia plan to blow up Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has been “drafted and approved”

Kyrylo Budanov, chief of Ukraine’s military intelligence, warns of a dangerous escalation.

What consequences could the potential sabotage of the Zaporizhzhia plant carry? Chernobyl-esque?

Thank you for tracking this. I was wondering when we were going to revisit it. Sigh. Let me do some more digging.

The exclusion zone would be roughly 30 thousand km2, and the polluted zone will be up to 2 million km2, including the territories of Moldova, Turkey, and Belarus. Exclusion is light orange, polluted, dark orange.

Russia are literally scumbags.

@nasa If he follows through with this, it may be considered an attack on NATO. 

 

Even if he doesn't, the reactors aren't being cooled as they hold control over the plant, so even if it's not a direct hit, he'll try to dodge when there's an inevitable meltdown soon, then the mines will do his work for him. 

 

But the fallout will reach deep inside his country, so I'm wondering what the motivation is here besides sheer nihilism.
