So pretty much what you're telling me is, if Russia can't have Ukraine, then nobody can

[ogmasterminer]

Wow I mean this would be the worse of war crimes. This would kill so many in Europe.. omg we gotta stop these fools.

[TheLocalChurchExperience]

But why? The people firing at a nuclear facility, why do they think they will be protected from radiation? It doesn't make sense.

[ulostgaming]

I mean you kinda got to step in, when one country is outta their dam minds!!

[someoneout-there]

Mercy.. don't care what anyone says about it.. by far the scariest event in my lifetime.

It is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. 6 operating reactors. If they get into one of the reactors, it will be like fifteen accidents at Chernobyl.

[AAA]

Rest In Peace if the fire spreads to the reactors

When is the world gonna stop one person

I watched this live. From what I could see, Russia didn't attack the firefighters but instead turned them away. Everything else is correct, it has been shelled and stormed by Russian forces with a strike force of 3 armoured personal carriers with ground troops armed with anti-vehicle weaponry, I watched as they fired two RPG type weapons into the facility. Absolutely insane, I pray for Ukraine

He’s got to be out of his mind. He figures is if they can’t have it then nobody can?

According to Windfinder we are experiencing winds from north-west in Ukraine right now. In Europe we usually face winds from the West (that flow to the East). If there was a nuclear leak at this plant, Russia would get irradiated too. This doesn't make any sense at all. I'm curious about how the US and Europe will respond to this.

Maybe they thought it was an elementary school?

[WILLPORKER]

This violates the Geneva convention... This is unconscionable

[jayce]

Troops and tanks moved in and open fired on the plant and then a convoy of fire trucks rushed in and were turned away by Russian forces. Watched it all on live stream of the plant.

Pretty wild. Never seen anyone drop a nuke plant. Hopefully it’s not too bad. Russia be wildin.

It was the administrative building that was on fire, in the broadcast the author pointed the camera at the power unit, it is on the other side to the left of the camera and everything is in order with it.

[kanemccord]

What the f*** kind of game are the Russians trying to play are they really trying to start a nuclear war

[mypeeps]

They just pretty much nuked themselves WTF

[manishbhardwajtrustworthyr]

If even accidentally leakage happened in this nuclear plant then we all can imagine how much disaster would take place 🙄🙏🙏

I sure hope homer simpson isn't their nuclear safety inspector.
