Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant at risk of disaster, says top nuclear watchdog

A month ago, the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog visited the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine. He saw two big holes on the roof caused by high-caliber ammo that could have impacted the fuel. On GZERO World, Rafael Grossi gives Ian Bremmer a first-hand account of the precarious situation there — and how close we got to another Chernobyl.

Russian attacks on Ukraine are state-sponsored terrorism

Russian attacks on Ukraine are state-sponsored terrorism

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: Almost eight months now of since the initial invasion of Russia into Ukraine. The war continues to get worse. There's more hits on Ukraine. 30% of the country's electricity has been disrupted. More hits on cities focused on civilian casualties over the last week. These are the attacks that we've seen across the country by mostly missile and drone attacks by the Russians. Not even trying to say that these are military targets anymore. It's really state sponsored terror by the Russian government.The big question going forward first is can Russia hold their own line?

Putin bombs Ukraine

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: Turning to the war in Russia. Lots going on, almost all of it escalatory at this point. Most recent state of play, a spectacular attack by the Ukrainians on the Kerch Bridge, the Crimea bridge that was said by Putin to be impregnable, can't possibly be able to attack it. It was providing a lot of supply chain, military supply chain from Russia sourcing capabilities material into Crimea and the rest of Ukraine, and suddenly significantly disrupted by a Ukrainian truck bomb. That led Putin to respond in the early hours today, rush hour in Ukraine.
