  1. Well if the person in charge would leave capable people to run that plant this wouldn’t happen – but when u leave idiots to run things ….

  2. Zelensky is a liar! The Ukrainians have been trying to cause a nuclear accident for years – then blame it not he Russians.

  3. Russian trolls on triple over time here.
    This is yet another war crime if Putin gave the order to destroy the Zap nuclear power plant cooling system.

  4. That's just the cooling tower and not the reactor, the parts that go "boom" in a bad way are quite far from there, so at worst, this will take the plant offline for a bit and we probably won't have a meltdown unless the elite have planned one to happen.

  5. I guess you received bribes to to blame it on Russia with the actually was zelinsky ordered that. Zelensky the Nazi ordered that. Zelensky losing so badly he's desperate and desperate people do desperate things they even pay off mainstream media to lie like hell. So how much did the US government give your mainstream media people how much money did you people receive to lie ❓ just proves another media source on the take

  6. The Beznau nuclear power plant in Switzerland, Metsamor Plant in Armenia and Fessenheim Plant in France was chosen as the most dangerous reactors in the world due to its design in the 1960s and 1970s . The nuclear reactor should have been close a long time ago. Because it spreads radiation to Europe and other continents. Radioactive and chemical wastes of the Меtsаmоr Nuclear Power Plant enter the Caspian Sea through rivers and then into the oceans through other rivers. The NPP is located in a seismic country and a strong earthquake can occur at any time. Armenia should be sanctioned and embargoed to close this reactor. This environmental terrorism must be stopped. Тhe number of cancer patients in the world is increasing rapidly due to nuclear power plants. The government of Armenia, which is a military-economic ally of the invading Russia аnd receives financial and military support from it, should think about the health of the peoples of Europe. The Prime Minister of Japan said that the chemical and radioactive waste of nuclear power plants in Japan will be discharged into the ocean. As a result of water circulation and rainfall, plants will absorb toxic water. There will be radiation in drinking water and cancer patients will increase. Russia's political and military leadership is planning armed sabotage at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Mines are buried in the territory of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant from all sides. Explosives are placed inside the reactors. World leaders must stop this ecological disaster

  7. Failed to reach the Nuclear plant IN RUSSIA Zelensky, as dangerous as Netanyahu to everyone including the people they send into the bloodbaths. The modern Zyklon B.

  8. People still ok with putins war on the ukraine?
    If this melts down it will spread contamination into america also.
    We all live on the same planet…wake up.

  9. Now I'm no expert but that's a cooling tower….There isn't anything inside that that can burn. It's cascades hot heat exchanged water from heat exchanger from a reactor or boiler cooling circuit it's just steel and concrete. Unless it was filled with combustible material (A lot of materials) and the cooling system turned off then I'm confused???

  10. The u.s. needs to stop pouring money in to Ukraine Russia war
    The u.s is soo damaged but yet we keep giving billions

  11. E' stata colpita da un drone di fabbricazione tedesca, regalato a Zelensky!!!!!
    Lo sapevo che poi la colpa sarebbe stata attribuita ai russi!!!!
    Perché non provate a mettere da parte la vostra sporca propaganda e raccontare quello che avviene realmente?

  12. "Russia destroyed Nordstream II"….
    "Russia burst the dam" (which BTW instantly ruined Russia's continuity of field fortifications…)

    "Russia lobbed shells at the Chernobyl nuke plant"

    "Russia bombed the place where the Azovtsy prisoners were being held…"

    Nazilensky is one STINKING liar, and his cheerleaders in politics and media are too.

  13. Forbes, will you learn to punctuate !!
    Try this :
    Fire At Russia-Controlled Ukraine-Based Nuclear Plant "Started By Russian Forces" : Zelensky.
    There, closer to objective journalism now !

  14. чё? горит "градирня" – система охлаждения. Причём подожгли сами хохлы. И с каких пор запорожская АЭС стала контролироваться русскими? Она ещё в прошлом году, после обстрелов со стороны уркаины была передана под ИХ управление!

  15. As predicted ulkraine will caused a global disaster by destroying a nuclear power plant and expect the world to believe russia did it
