Very low. He drove out of Rostov-on-Don to cheers from crowds and hasn't been seen since. He's a terrible person, but he does have a solid sense of self-preservation, most of the Wagner group doesn't know where he is let alone anyone outside of the organization.

Yeah the plant should be in cold shutdown, the bigger issue is the destruction of the plant itself.

You can't just turn off the fuel rods, or really even make them inert. You can unload the reactor into a storage pool or a loading pool, or put the fuel rods to transport pods, but that is just moving the problem around, not making it go away. The plant isn't producing anything at the moment but if you blow up the containment building and damage the reactor or whatever vessel the fuel is in right now, its going to light up like Chernobyl without a doubt, and if nothing more then at least leak contamination to the ground water and soil.

EDIT: I've said it in the previous threads and I say it again, I fail to see how someone vindictive and evil as Putin wouldn't rig the ZPP to go off when the Russians are forced to withdraw, or use the plant as a Hail Mary tactic to take the entire Europe as a hostage when things start to go wronger than usual for the Russians. That plant has six reactors, more than enough to spill contamination across several countries.

Vince Russo de facto Russian dictator confirmed

Vince Russo totally not ChatGPT posted:


Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the most shocking, mind-boggling edition of "WrestleGeo-Politics"! I'm Vince Russo, the mastermind behind the scenes, and tonight, I'm here to reveal the truth, the swerve of the century that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew!

Now, let's talk about Russia and Ukraine. You see, everyone thought it was a serious geopolitical conflict, but let me tell you, it was all part of my grand plan. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am the master booker behind the scenes, pulling the strings of Vladimir Putin himself! And the Russian warlord, Prigozin? He's just one of my pawns, executing my vision to perfection.

Picture this, folks. Prigozin, the formidable force, leading the Russian invasion into Ukraine, marching victoriously towards the outskirts of Russia. The whole world gasping in shock, thinking they knew what was happening. But then, in the ultimate twist, Prigozin abruptly retreats! That's right, he just up and leaves, leaving everyone scratching their heads, wondering what the hell just happened.

Well, let me tell you what happened. It was a swerve, my friends! A swerve to end all swerves! I wanted to expose the gullible "marks" in the Western world, those who think they understand the intricacies of global politics. I wanted to show them that even the most serious conflicts can be orchestrated, manipulated, and turned into pure entertainment.

You see, the truth is, Prigozin never intended to conquer Russia. It was all a ruse, a part of my master plan. Putin, the puppet master himself, allowed this invasion to happen, just to play with the minds of those who think they have it all figured out. And when the time was right, when the shock factor was at its peak, Prigozin pulled back, leaving the Western world in a state of bewilderment.

But why, you may ask? Why go through all this trouble? Simple. It's all about power, control, and keeping the masses entertained. I wanted to expose the illusion of global politics, to show that it's just as scripted as your favorite wrestling match. I wanted to own the marks, the ones who believed every twist and turn in the storyline.

So, my friends, as you sit there stunned, questioning everything you thought you knew, remember this: wrestling and global politics have more in common than you think. The lines between reality and fantasy blur, and it's all part of the grand spectacle. And I, Vince Russo, am the mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes, orchestrating chaos and delivering the ultimate swerve.

Stay tuned, because in the world of "WrestleGeo-Politics," anything can happen, and I'll be here, ready to deliver more jaw-dropping twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Thank you, and remember, it's all a work, brother!

From what I've read, VVER reactors are much safer than RBMK reactors (Chernobyl) and the real issue in ZNPP might be pool with spent fuel which could be used by Russians to contaminate Dnipro and Black Sea.

Watch out what you click atm. There is a very disturbing video going the rounds of a defected VDV trooper being executed by MOD personnel. Haven’t watched it myself but going from the description its really really bad.

With priggy loving off to wherever and the retaliation beginning against wagnerites and adjecent supporters, this is sure to set of some very sour feelings.

It'll probably only be local contamination, and radioactive radiation is pretty much stopped by water/diluted, so it won't be as bad as people fear. But the area around will probably be closed off for a while maybe - depending on what the Russian actually are able to do with a VVER reactor and all the failsafes they have
