KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine and the West expressed fury on Friday after Europe’s largest atomic power plant was attacked and seized by invading Russian forces, which continued to shell major cities. AFP/ MANILA BULLETIN The six reactors at Zaporizhzhia, which can power four million homes, appeared undamaged by the fighting and a fire that broke out in a training facility. But Ukraine accused the Kremlin of “nuclear terror,” and US envoy to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said the attack was “incredibly reckless and dangerous”. Moscow’s UN ambassador said accusations that Russian forces had shelled the plant were simply part of “an unprecedented campaign of lies”. Ukraine says thousands of civilians have died since President Vladimir Putin’s military invaded in the night of February 24, purportedly to erase a Western-leaning “Nazi” threat on its borders. In a Kyiv hospital, wounded soldiers told AFP of their grim battle against the Russian advance on the capital, and vowed to return to the frontline. “We were on reconnaissance and came across an enemy column that had made a breakthrough,” said Motyka, 29, who was hit by shrapnel on his right side. “We fought them and killed their soldiers on foot, but they showered us with mortar fire.” On Friday missile and bomb attacks on cities continued, the Ukrainian military said on Facebook, adding that the main focus of Russian troops was to encircle Kyiv.

Can somebody please tell Lindsey Graham to stop tweeting ? Or posting to Facebook ? Or at least warn whoever runs the South Carolina senator’s Instagram account to hold off on posting that “Is there a Brutus in Russia?” graphic, perhaps forever? Because openly wondering if there is “a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military” isn’t a good look. On Thursday, Graham took to social media to call for the assassination of Vladimir Putin, asking for someone to “take this guy out” in order to end the conflict in Ukraine that Russia has been carrying out for well over a week. Graham somehow believes that the person who eliminates Putin from the picture “would be doing your country—and the world—a great service,” as if there quite literally is not a whole team of Putin sycophants and righthand men at the ready to continue carrying out what the Russian tyrant has started. Lawmakers like Ilhan Omar and luminaries from across the political spectrum have strongly condemned Graham’s statements.

Reports of limited access to Twitter and YouTube also surfaced Friday.
