Finally from the perspective of third parties who aren't on either side of this war, we should all be worried because there is a certain stupidity involved in this operation NATO designed that inches us closer to a nuclear war. If what the analysts are saying comes true and Ukrainians manage to take over the nearby Russian nuclear facility and pose a "nuclear threat" to Russia, that could be be used as an excuse for Russia to also "pose a nuclear threat" to Ukraine. It's the same logic as "cluster munition" and a lot of other things. Russia started using cluster munition after US deployed this type in Ukraine.
Things could rapidly escalate to worsen the situation if those facilities are damaged, whether intentionally or unintentionally. The nuclear explosion inside Russian soil would only give Russia the legitimacy to strike Ukraine using nuclear weapons... That's not something anybody wants.

The “special military operation” that Ukraine is conducting this time on Russian territory was definitely not developed by NATO. Such a bold operation in conditions of numerical superiority of the invaders in almost everything is not for their overly cautious brains. NATO does not develop long-term ground operations unless they have air superiority. Only the Ukrainian Armed Forces are capable of this. Therefore, NATO stated that they were not informed by the Ukrainian side about the planning of an attack on the Kursk region of Russia.

When it comes to the threat to nuclear security, it is not the Ukrainians that the world needs to fear. What you are warning about has already been happening since March 2022, when Russian occupation forces seized the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, and periodically carry out provocative actions there that could really end in another nuclear disaster. So, yesterday, on August 11, the occupiers intentionally or through negligence started a fire at this nuclear power plant, which seems to have been extinguished by now. The fire occurred at a technical water supply facility. As a result, cooling tower No. 1 caught fire and other process equipment was damaged.

Russian occupiers like to show that they are not predictable in their actions and behave like a Mavpa with a grenade. By retreating, they may well provoke another environmental disaster, following the example of the one they did with the Kakhovka hydroelectric station, blowing it up from the inside and causing unprecedented flooding of the Ukrainian region.

The Ukrainian command has not yet commented on the goals and scale of its offensive in the Kursk region. Therefore, it is not yet known whether the Ukrainian Armed Forces are going to take control of the Kuskaya nuclear power plant, which is already located several tens of kilometers from the advanced units of the advancing Ukrainian troops in the city of Kurchatov. In my opinion, and this is now being actively discussed on social networks, it would be nice for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to take possession of this nuclear power plant and then exchange it for the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant of Ukraine in order to prevent a major catastrophe on it in the future from the retreating Russian occupiers.
