  • Russia is merely assisting in speeding up the process of decommissioning Ukraine's Soviet heritage in its constant struggle to get rid of its communist past and step into the new era of free and democratic Ukraine.

  • If Russia was what NATO and it's fans accuse, power plants like this would've been targeted months ago, maybe in the first month after negotiations fell apart. It's not like Russia lacked the capacity.

    Got to wonder how liberals can conclude that Russia is Most EvilTM and yet leave critical infrastructure in play for so long.

    Maybe Russia now sees Ukraine effectively demilitarised, that it can tighten the screws to end the war now.

    • Tbh I don't think it wasn't done early out of goodness of the heart. I'm sure you remember strikes at substations around Kiev before winter. Frankly I suspect it was for the same reason that railways, bridges and resource extraction infrastructure (such as ammonia pipelines) weren't targeted - Russian capital wanted them. Now it's clear western "partners" would rather it all burns, so they go ahead
