Wow this is a spirited debate. Let's throw this in the mix. Realistically the Russians don't need more nuclear armoury. They have enough nuclear bombs to blow everyone up several times. Ukraine on the other hand have none. So perhaps the Russians want the nuclear power stations out of Ukrainian hands. If I were president of The Ukraine I would be feeling a bit miffed right now. Russia are illegally invading my country and NATO won't get involved militarily. So at some stage perhaps I would call Russians bluff and say if you want a nuclear war that's fine, we can start one with our power stations. It will destroy Ukraine, but the Russians are destroying it anyway so let's take Russia with us. NATO, you won't help us because you so frightened that Russia will start a nuclear war so if you won't help militarily and you will stand by and watch The Ukraine destroyed, fine I will take you with me. Perhaps the nuclear power stations are best "guarded" by the Russians as they don't need them for a nuclear war.
