Assuming that a bigger attack could spread radioactive material in the atmosphere, things like this should be considered as an attack on bordering countries too and EU nations should act accordingly.

Western Governments should pay for the repairs, using Russia’s seized assets.
The attack – quickly concluded to be caused by a drone flying below at a level where it could not be detected by radar – punctured a 15-sq-metre hole in the outer roof. It also caused a particularly damaging, complex smouldering fire to the inner cladding of the structure that took over a fortnight to put out.
When you know that the little hole is 15 metres across, I'm an idiot, but it gives a sense of how huge that structure is.
For anybody out of the loop:
- The hole makes it hard to maintain the lower artificial pressure inside
- The waterproof isolation has been burning and hundreds of holes have been made to put out the fires
That's about what someone wound have to pay me to go fix it
Materials and tools excluded
Fucking idiot Russians. Incredible lack of military discipline, and sloppy leadership. I bet some idiot 22 year old who has never heard of the disaster flew it into the structure while the commander was fucking off somewhere else.
We spent decades cleaning up this mess and finally had a viable medium-term solution, and they go and fucking burn it up. This war is fucking insane.
Russia is going to pay it all when they lose this pointless war
Chornobyl? Is that different from Chernobyl?
To give you the benefit of the doubt; it's Russian vs Ukrainian spelling. With Chornobyl being the accepted Ukrainian spelling.
The popular TV series spells it as Chernobyl so I assume that's the more common spelling
Russian sure is the more commonly known language than Ukrainian, but the russian invasion of Ukraine has lately boosted the idea that maybe we should start using the Ukranian transliterations instead, especially when talking about places and people from Ukraine - Kyiv/Kiev, Chornobyl/Chernobyl, Zeleskyy/Zelensky, and so on, instead of the way the russian say those names.
