Ukraine - Nuclear Power Plant On the Ground Insight

I realize this video is just short of an hour long and that watching Patrick Lancaster videos can be tedious because so much of the conversation is in Russian with English translation captions, but I made it through this video last night and it is certainly food for thought. I'm not sure I agree with the two Zaporozhye (Zaporizhzhia) power plant officials he interviewed late in the video, but they seem to think Russia has no reason to blow up the plant and it would be very difficult for Ukraine to cause a nuclear disaster short of using a dirty bomb.

NUCLEAR WAR From Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant Attack Possible?(Russia Ukraine War Special Report)

I'm not convinced, but hey, find this story covered this way anywhere else in western media.

From a more Western (propaganda) perspective, an introduction to the plant and the threat:

What Is the Risk of Disaster at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant?

So who stands to gain the most if the plant is damaged? If Russia were to do it, there's no gain for Russia but there's a huge loss in international as well as Russian national support. If Ukraine does it and the world blames Russia the way it appears to have done with Nord Stream 2 or with the Kakhovka dam, and if Ukraine succeeds in drawing NATO's direct military involvement into the war as this video suggests, then not only does Russia lose international and national support, it loses its effort to keep NATO out. Ukraine succeeds.

Which seems more likely to you?
