Russian troops capture Europe’s largest power plant:
The State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine said the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, near the town of Energodar, is occupied by Russian military troops.

Probably holding it hostage until Ukraine releases it's 100,000 russian POWs in waiting.

Bet there are some Ukrainian Daniel Boones there just itching to test their judgment of range and the wind (or, maybe that should be written as Kentuckrainian Windage )

My brother read a few things indicating some of the cream at the top of Russia may possibly have started moving their families etc out of the country (to Georgia and the like), if thats true then something might be brewing internally... we can only hope.

Well... there are rumors that Kremlin is planning to institute martial law in Russia over the weekend

The Guardian

Kremlin denies planning to institute martial law in Russia
Thousands of Russians flee country as rumours spread government is preparing clampdown
The borders could close as soon as this weekend after an extraordinary session of the Federation Council, Russia’s upper house of parliament, scheduled for Friday.

I mean, Kremlin denies it. But they denied planning an invasion too. So...

Abandon the ship, much?

…a former KGB officer who remains culturally and psychologically tied to a Soviet Union that no longer exists.

Who knows... just have to wait and see what eventuates.

I just hope when its all coming to an end, we dont get a Nero Decree from Putin like Hitler did, since im sure if Putin goes down at any point its his own people he might decide to hit hardest.

Also, hopefully we dont go to hard on Russia either if we get into a positive outcome... if once Putins gone, everyone should work heavily on getting the Ukraine AND Russia back on its feet asap.

But thats nothing but all thought experiments.

Small victories.

Dont be so sure as to a positive outcome given what Putin has perpitrated.

If i was Ukrainian, and lost friends family, sons and daughters, to the these Russian invaders, i would not stop until the Kremlin was a pile of burning rubble.

I don't say that so as to inflame the situation, but its human nature to seek revenge and hunt down the animals that hurt you.

Part and parcel of the Human condition really.

Russia needs to surrender and beg for mercy, which a lot of people simply wont be willing to give, least a repeat performance materialises another few decades down the line.

And that's not apt to happen any time soon given the Man in charge.

I can agree with all that, unfortunately.

I tend to try and think as pragmatic as possible (which is naive of me), talked to my brother and it seems on the forums he uses (has quite a few military history buffs) that the idea of helping Russia after all this might be a really bad idea given the history in the country in situations like this, I just dont like the thought of another Germany after WW1... but it might be better to simply leave Russia to fix itself after its all over.

But ill say here what i told him, none of us here have any say in any of it when/if it happens so we can just hope cool heads prevail and (as you say) history isnt set to repeat again in a couple of decades.
