Loss of coolant can have effects on the reactor and/or the spent fuel pool or container if there is such in the facilities. Any of these could go critical very quickly and ignite/explode.

But based on what happened in Fukushima, critical electrical/cooling systems and backups would have to be damaged in order to pose catastrophic risk.

While this is unlikely I'll probably lose some hours of sleep on this.

I very much doubt the Russians would do this on purpose (fallout would risk the whole operation and possibly Russian territory too) although the fighting around there is incredibly stupid.

Apparently current prevailing winds would spread fallout through Russian-held areas in Donbas and Crimea.

Not exactly a brilliant strategy - unless you're deranged and really don't care about your people.
