"As a result of periodic shelling, the infrastructure of the station has been damaged," Energoatom said in a statement.

Ukraine’s state-run energy operator warned Saturday that “there are risks of hydrogen leakage and sputtering of radioactive substances” from the country’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as shelling in the Russian-occupied area continues, despite international pleas for a ceasefire.

“As a result of periodic shelling, the infrastructure of the station has been damaged,” Energoatom said in a statement, cautioning that “the fire hazard is high” and that the plant “operates with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards.”

      They very clearly were not captured. Do you even understand what capturing territory actually means?

          Capturing territory means you are able to hold it and have supply lines for your troops. Russia clearly didn’t have a sufficient force to hold the territory and never even made an attempt to hold it. The amounts of troops, around 40k around Kiev, were clearly not sufficient to hold that territory or to take Kiev. What those troop did do however is fix Ukrainian forces in place which was crucial in allowing the main force quickly take Donbas. That’s the territory that was actually captured and Russia has held and expanded since the start of the war. You keep on doing your mental gymnastics there though.

              Last I checked, what actually happened was that Russia just parked a column of troops next to Kiev for a few weeks and then withdrew it. If that’s what you think capturing territory means what else is there to tell you. 😂
