You referring to Chernobyl?

Actually puts his invading force
in danger of contamination.

Two comments here: russian troopers have already surrounded and captured the nuclear generation facility at Chernobyl. There are credible reports of elevated radiation levels not because of damage to the facility but because of all the disturbed earth that has been raised by the army there.

The Russians put a missile on a nuclear waste disposal site, where expended fuel is buried. Jury is still out on that one…
 
Every time I see Zelensky on tv I can’t help but feel sorry for him. He is a young apparently vibrant and popular leader who is locked in a no win situation with no way out but death. Sad to watch a guy like him and realize that he will most likely soon cease to exist.

Better a day on your feet than a lifetime on your knees.
 
“‘The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,'” Zelenskyy told the U.S.
This quote sticks in my mind, I don't imagine I will ever forget it. As corny as it might sound, when I read that quote I had a powerful urge to hoist a Ukranian flag over my house. I admit that I am one that thought this would never happen, but now that it has I'm moved by the actions and resolve of the people under attack by putins butchers. I wish we were doing more for them.

Me too.

There is an account (backed up by video) of a woman yelling at a russian soldier on the street. She finally snaps, “Here! Take these sunflower seeds and put them in your pocket. So when we kill you, flowers will bloom where you fall!”

There is also an account of a road maintenance company taking down road signs and installing replacements that have misdirection on them or straight up epithets pointed to the invaders.

These people have BIG BRASS ONES.
 
A humorous aside regarding Zelensky.
A video montage exists of him in
Ukraine's "Dancing with the Stars."
He's really quite good in the feet
and knee department. Remember,
his background is that he was a
TV comedian.

Not too many years ago, we had a former actor here who turned out to be a darned good leader himself...
 
Europe has closed or is closing their airspace to Russian flights; Elon Musk is setting up satellite datalinks for the Ukrainians to counter insfrastructure damage.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk has activated Starlink, his commercial internet network, in Ukraine, with "more terminals en route," the billionaire said.

Musk's SpaceX has thousands of Starlink satellites in orbit, which allow the company to beam broadband services around Earth, without the need for fiber-optic cables. The satellites could keep Ukraine online if its internet infrastructure is damaged by Russia's attacks.

Musk's move came in response to a plea by Ukraine’s First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, who called for help on Saturday, as Ukraine fought off an invasion and sustained cyberattacks by Russian forces.

Thank God for strong people who will take action against aggression.
