Russia’s occupation of Ukraine’s Zaporozhskiy Nuclear Power Plant has turned Europe’s largest nuclear station into part of an active war zone, repeatedly exposing the site to explosions, drone activity and losses of external power.

That's really hilarious.

Who's attacking the plant with drones? What's exploding? Why external power gets lost?

That's mystery, enigma, riddle.

Hmm, that must be Russia, right? Attacking the plant it controls.

Why exactly Bellona cannot say that Ukraine attacks Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant with drones, even deliberately targets and murder Russian civilian nuclear engineers? [0]

And this year, projectiles struck the grounds of Iran’s operating Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant during the war there, though no reactor damage or radioactive release was reported.

Right, whose projectiles was that?

And what Bellona can say? "Bellona has followed—and criticized—the project since construction began in 2006".

Forget "hilarious", Bellona fills me with disgust.
