    Some questions came up in my mind as soon as I saw this in the news this morning:

    • How would Russia benefit from attacking Chernobyl?
    • What is the evidence that it was Russia who did this?

      I believe the benefit is making the situation more dangerous and unpredictable, which increases the gravity of the concessions Europeans are willing to make just have it all stop.

        I can kind of believe that, except I still think it makes more sense for the losing party to do this as a signal that they will go scorched earth if they lose.
