    05:40 With regards the Kakhovka Dam, whether it was blown up by the Russians or the Russians raised the lake levels too high which collapsed the Dam, the blame for the destruction of the Dam still firmly lies at the feet of the Russian invaders.

    You can rewrite international law to forbid armies to enter nuclear power plants but Russia has shown it doesn't respect international law

    In the case of Zaporizhzhia or Kursk NPPs the plants are active and in the way of the other countries strategic goals. The international community expects these plants not to be interfered with or part of an active war zone. In the case of Chernobyl the plant was retired and the site of a terrible incident. There was little strategic advantage to the Russians by occupying it and this piece rather calmly says this by what it doesn’t have to talk about. The Ukrainian Army did not counter-attack Russia in this location knowing how bad it would be to make war in a disaster hot zone like the Red Forrest. As long as the Armies operate tactical restraint around these sites, there isn’t much issue. The problems around ZNPP was the side activities of torture, kidnapping, looting, extortion and murder of the plant’s staff by the Russian occupation forces that created problems with the plant.

    If we had peace negotiations and end the war we wouldn't have to be concerned about nuclear war, accidents ect ending human civilization. Media should focus more on peace solutions rather than constantly escalating things and cheerleading the comedian in Ukraine.

    As was expected from the start of the US/UK/Ukrainian BRILLIANT operation in Kursk :
    Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky reported to Zelensky that the Pokrovsk Front had collapsed.
    To contain the Russian army in Donbass, it is necessary to stop or limit the Kursk operation, calling for sending some units to Pokrovsk and Selidovo.
    Zelensky refused, reports the Ukrainian TG channel "Resident" with reference to its sources.

      bit of a strong reaction considering it's just a sit down interview with a respected historian. Seems like you have an agenda and you're throwing a total mixed bag of conspiracy theory critiques that might get you likes.
