Probably this would be one of the best uses for UN Peacekeeping forcea, occupying this nuclear plant and denying acces to it to both sides until the war ends. But UN is useless.

There are three nuclear power plants on territory that Ukraine controls -- but Russia is plotting an act of nuclear terrorism on a plant under its control and possession?

What am I missing? This doesn't make sense.

Both Ukraine and Russia damaging it would be insane considering that we don't really know who will control that territory at the end of this...

Wouldn't Russia blow it up if Putin thinks he is losing ground. As of now, Russia gets to keep it. Why blow it up?

If anything Ukraine would be incentized to blow it up

Head line should read

BREAKING: Zelensky addresses world, says UKRAINE plans to attack the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is under Russian control. So he can blame it on the Russians and call in NATO forces.

I'm clearly not a War Strategist. Just thinking out loud here.

NATO has no involvement no matter who demages it. No NATO member is attacked.

They will translate blowing up a nuclear power plant into using nuclear weapons in Ukraine... Biden says if they used nuclear weapons then it's a "serious" mistake.

It doesn't need to be an attack against a NATO member.
