    How do you think Ukraine are going make NATO believe that russia blew the plant?

    It’s currently occupied by russia, it’s in annexed territory, they can’t just walk in plant a few explosives. I expect folk would notice if Ukraine threw some missiles at it.

    So how?

      Also consider that when Russia took control of the plant they did so by bombing the fuck out of it. I remember watching the livestream as explosions rocked the plant.

      It is not for the west to believe, it is for their home audience. If a dirty bomb made out of zaporizia goes off nato countries will get involved to help.clean up and control the plant and assist humanitarian efforts. Russia gov then still gets to play victim to its domestic audience blaming it all on other side. And some may be patriotic and want to believe and others will have to engage in doublethink and ‘have’ to believe it or be re-educated.
