Nice to see them doing something like this.
Now it would be nice if they could coodinate with the next two biggest producers, Russia and Tajikistan, the three of whom toghether have almsot 90% of the world's production, to also do something similar in exchange for investment. Or perhaps it might be better to just do the same restriction to another important resource.
There were also some very uncofirmed talks about China stopping drone parts exports too, which if they really did could have a massive impact on west.
Where do I even begin to talk about how dumb this is?
It's like saying you will make nerve agent just so you can bomb a nerve agent plant. It doesn't make sense. Not even for the Ukrainian regime.
I guess you could add extra radioatice stuff to make sure it to gets mixed with everything else at the target site, but if you just use normal shells/bombs you can at least claim it was a mistake, so I really don't see how this makes sense as is.
If they want to bomb a nuclear power plant normal bombs, perhaps bunker busters, sufice. There is no need to do any more than that.
The only reason I can see for them to be searching for "radioactive materials" to target the plant it would be if they wanted spent uranium rounds, but that wouldn't be used because it is radioactive but because it is "harder".
So, either this is some dumb propaganda piece, some even dumber plan, or some dumb reporting or translation on what should be really serious.
