I wonder what the hell is the logic behind causing a nuclear "accident" of any level at ZNPP. To drive home the point (again) that nuclear energy should be abolished so that Russia could peddle more fossil fuels for sale? And risks of escalation be damned?

Maybe it’s the same logic as the dam distraction, it makes it harder for Ukrainians to advance. Instead of Ukraine having to ford a river due to the dam destruction they will make Ukraine cross nuclear fallout to get them to leave. It feels like it’s just terrorism logic at this point where Moscow said they would set off a nuclear bomb if their demands aren’t met and Ukraine saying no to the demands…thus the terrorist just detonates the bomb as they run away.
