Couple of articles alleging Russian misconduct on a potentially troubling level floating around.<\/p>\n
In one, the Ukrainians claim that Russia has wired up the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) with explosives.<\/p>\n
According to Military Intelligence Chief Kyrylo Budanov, … there is currently “a certain threat” to the plant. He noted that by destroying the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam, the Russians also restrained the regular water access to the plant’s coolers.<\/p>\n
“The worst thing is that Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was additionally mined during this time. It was the cooler that was mined. If they disable it by blowing it up, there is a high probability that there will be significant problems,” Budanov added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Russians fired a “chemical aerosol munition with suffocating effect on one of the positions,” Valeriy Shershen, a spokesperson for the Joint Press Center of the Tavria Defense Force, said, according to Ukrinform’s translation.<\/p>\n
Shershen did not identify the gas, nor say if any Ukrainian or Russian troops were affected.<\/p>\n
But he did say the incident happened near Marinka, a city in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
