Coincidentally, the banner on CBC New Network just now shows no apparent concern - yet. I've not been able to verify the banner statement.

Does this mean these plants aren't designed with a "fail safe" mode where it automatically switches to a low power setting making just enough power to handle its own operating needs? Unbelievable!! Downright criminal!!
I will lay money on the fact that the Ukraine will end up with them, but it will be on the down low with the jets being prepped and readied and then towed across a remote border crossing by "farmers" and then using that same highway, off they go by UAF pilot who "just happened to be nearby".
Not sure about empty nuke threats - creating a Chernoble V2.0 is a form of nuclear attack, sort of like one big-ass dirty bomb.I sure hope you're right.
Given that the alleged nuclear alert Putin announced never materialized, I wonder how serious he can be about his threats.

Problem is, his own forces are going to get smothered in the fallout, too...

Like Putin gives a damn about his own forces?
Given his nature, he probably blames the Russian military for their failure to subdue Ukraine. It's not too far a stretch that he could enact a dirty bomb as retribution not only against Ukraine but also against his own soldiers who failed him.
do you really believe that such things haven't been discussed between US an Poland before press release??... and this just came up in my feed:
Poland said on Wednesday that it wants to work with NATO countries to send fighter jets to Ukraine one day after the U.S. rejected Poland's proposal.
"Such a serious decision as supplying planes must be unanimous and unequivocally made by the whole North Atlantic alliance," Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at a press conference, Reuters reported.
On Tuesday, Poland proposed transferring its MiG-29 jets to U.S. Ramstein Air Base in Germany so the fighters could be sent to Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been pleading with Western countries to supply the jets to help in his nation fight against Russia.
The Polish proposal, which was not discussed with the U.S. before becoming public, was rejected by Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby later Tuesday.

That's a fair point about NATO approval, but I don't doubt that'll scupper the idea.
this is military "newspeak" - it means unit have probably lost more than 70% of soldiers and all combat equipmentA brigade? Pulled out because of "loss of effectiveness"? Not good for the Russian Army...
You've got to admit, those pesky Ukrainians have a habit of stealing everything that isn't nailed down ...
nuclear power pant are designed fail safe for a case of power lost - control rods in such case will be completlyy inserted to the reactor and it will be switched off this wayWithout electricity to power the control rods, I'd imagine that's a tall ask. It may be that they can shut it down completely, but I'm not sure about that.

I thought all the reactors has been shot down years ago, which means the plant is not generating any power at all.
Chernobyl has four reactors, unit 4 is the one that went critical, the other three remained functional until a few years ago.
They've been in the process of decommissioning it, but the three functioning reactors still need their cooling systems operational.
I knew Bolos needed more horse power.
