Edit: a terrible joke snipe

I teach English as a second language and had a Russian student once who pronounced it exactly like that, without knowing what he was actually saying. He laughed his head off when I told him how we normally pronounce the currency in English, and what the word 'rubble' actually meant, saying it was "perfect" and that he was just going to keep saying it that way.

Norway. Famous for oil, fish and being a member of EU.

We are in Schengen, so for the purposes of border crossings in Europe we are effectively in the EU. Unlike the UK, which is hilarious. The border with Sweden is also especially porous, since we are straight up allowed to work and live in each other's countries for reasons that predate the EU.

There's also a lot of shopping happening: One of the few exceptions we have from the EU agreements (through the EEC) is that we are quite protectionist for farm goods we produce here, in an attempt to keep our countryside populated despite it being kind of crap farmland - and to be more self-sufficient with basic food. The downside is that food is expensive here, and when you add on the aggressive sin taxes on alcohol, sugar and tobacco, plus the lower wages over there, going shopping in Sweden is something of a national hobby.

I don't think I've ever had to show a passport at the border. You usually just drive across; if you're unlucky customs may do a spot check for drugs and if you're inside the alcohol quota (but even then I don't think they typically check id). If he had caught his return bus, or taken a taxi to the train station, or anything smarter than walking back along the highway, he would absolutely have gotten away with a cheeky little cigarettes & beer trip to Svinesund.

Apparently Ukraine tried a raid on the nuclear plant last year:

quote:

Ukraine made secret, unsuccessful attempt to retake Zaporizhzhia NPP – The Times

In October 2022, the Ukrainian military attempted to regain control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant from Russia, but was unsuccessful, The Times reports, citing anonymous sources from Ukrainian special forces, military intelligence, and Navy.

Kyiv did not officially the incident, which took place when the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, was occupied for over six months by the Russians, who used its premises to launch attacks on Ukrainian cities across the Dnipro River and a large steel plant in Nikopol.

As per the Times report, during the night of October 19, around 600 Ukrainian soldiers boarded 30 armed speedboats, which were equipped with large-caliber machine guns, MK-19 grenade launchers, and anti-tank weapons. The soldiers attempted to land on the left bank of the Dnipro River, crossing a stretch of river nearly three miles (4.8 km) wide but were unsuccessful.

The idea was to launch an infantry-only battle, as the Ukrainians were sure that Russia would not respond with artillery, fearing a catastrophe at a nuclear plant. Battle-hardened soldiers from Ukraine’s elite units, including Ukraine’s military intelligence, GUR, and including the Shaman battalion, the Kraken Regiment, and the Ukrainian Foreign Legion were drawn for the operation. They did not expect the resistance that Russia put up at the nuclear plant: the defense was dense and everything was mined, and the Ukrainians were fired at from tanks and artillery.

A few Ukrainian special forces teams on small boats managed to engage in a three-hour firefight with the Russians on the outskirts of Enerhodar, adjacent to the power plant, but the main force was unable to land. Ukrainians tried to engage the Russian tanks on the shoreline but it was difficult to fire anti-tank weapons while moving at speed over the water.

The commander wisely decided to retreat instead of risking heavy casualties.

Petro Kotin, President of Enerhoatom, Ukrane’s nuclear operator, said that the mere presence of Russians at the nuclear power plant poses the greatest danger. According to Kotin, the Russians are currently using control centers as living quarters, placing gun emplacements on the roofs of plant buildings, and building fortifications near radioactive storage areas. They are even keeping ammunition trucks inside the reactors’ turbine halls, putting Ukraine at risk of a nuclear incident that could have lasting effects. He further stated that there is a general decline in the plant’s conditions, including equipment, personnel, and programs, which would be deemed unacceptable in peaceful times.
