This is interesting, is it because they are loosing territory or planning to blow it?

Russia is reducing its presence at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Ukraine’s military intelligence directorate (GUR) has claimed, with staff told to relocate to Crimea and military patrols scaled back.

The agency’s chief, Kyrylo Budanov, has alleged Moscow has approved a plan to blow up the station and has mined four out of six power units, as well as a cooling pond. Last week Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said Russia was plotting a “terrorist attack”.

According to the GUR, several representatives of Russia’s state nuclear energy agency, Rosatom, have already left. Ukrainian employees who stayed at the plant and signed contracts with Rosatom had been told to evacuate by Monday, preferably to Crimea, it said.

I guess they could blow it up soon. Horrifying.

Grossi asserted that he "didn't see that kind of development" on the ground, but also that "anything can happen, that is what worries me".

IAEA is not confirming it, but I think it's a stretch to get "pure deranged nonsense" from that quote.

@lenux12343 I'd presume that #Putin will likely pull out of #Ukraine entirely if he doesn't win soon (within the next two-three weeks), looking at the support #Prigozhin was able to get among the citizens of #Russia

I really hope they dont plan to blow it... this + fukushima putting radioactive water back to the sea can be ridiculously bad.
