I can't link the relevant Telegram and Twitter posts atm, but reports are about 60 Ukrainian commandos landed just east of the power plant this morning. RAF started shelling the area and engaged them with planes and helicopters. The Russians also claim they sunk 2 more landing ships due west of the plant. Situation isn't yet fully resolved from what I can tell.

First, just wtf are these lunatics doing. Second, the inspectors arrived in the region yesterday iirc and were supposed to inspect the plant today or in the coming days. The Russians pulled out their forces from neighboring Enerhodar for this visit. Essentially the Ukrainians used the visit as shield for an amphibious assault on a nuclear power plant. That's the least nefarious interpretation here. What in the world would they have done had they seized the plant. Take the inspectors hostage? Do a PR piece for the world showing the planet they themselves shelled and attacked under their controlled to the world, using the inspectors to give the story credit? Just wtf.

Edit: Seems like the UAF are currently detaining the column of inspectors at a checkpoint about 20km from the frontline.

It was very clear from the beginning that Ukraine was trying to create an incident and then blame Russia.

True, still nuts to me they'd go this far for another PR stunt. One it's a fucking nuclear plant; two it's an amphibious assault without aircover on a heavily guarded and monitored area, in part due to their previous shelling; three these PR stunts don't change the situation on the ground.

Like at some point these people have to realize this war isn't being won on Twitter or CNN, but on the ground.

it’s a fucking nuclear plant

It's a nuclear plant in their own country, surrounded by their own people.

Fucking nazis. This is how much their nationalist rhetorics is worth.
