It's looking like Russia is getting ready to explode the Zaprorizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Because after the dam, why wouldn't they?
Modern nuclear reactors are pretty safe, encased in shells to protect them from outside attacks and keep nuclear byproducts inside. None of this matters, however, if you've had months to set up explosives inside the building. It's a like a modern equivalent of scorching the earth to prevent enemies from advancing through a flank -- except it's also a way to make most other countries hate Russia for generations. "Why can't we go there, Dad?" "Well, son, it's because a hundred years ago some Russians wanted to win a war that they ended up losing anyway, so they polluted the land forever."
