**Ukraine has previously attacked the ZNPP multiple times and now this attack on the Kursk powerplant- This is frightening stuff. Very risky.**

**The Western media/ 5 eyes is staying away from this report- Of course.** **I’m uncertain when this attack took place. Recently or at the beginning of the push into Kursk?**
