Putin plotting huge attack on 3 nuclear plants as terrifying Ukraine plan leaked
What happened
Ukrainian officials claim to have seen a leaked Russian war plan outlining a campaign of strikes against Ukraine's power grid, including its nuclear power plants. The plan allegedly involves up to 1,000 missiles, drones, and bombs targeting electrical substations, hydroelectric and thermal power plants, and boiler houses. This could result in a collapse of Ukraine's power grid, with a risk of a disastrous meltdown at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
Why it matters
The potential attack could have significant consequences for Ukraine and potentially Europe, as it could lead to a breakdown in the country's power infrastructure and potentially affect neighboring countries. The plan allegedly involves targeting Ukraine's water system, which could also have severe consequences for civilians. The situation is being closely monitored by European partners.
