I highly recommend this lecture by Finnish army intelligence expert to those looking to understand the deeper roots behind Russia's actions. Lecture in Finnish, but it has English subtitles. Truly wakening stuff, it really helps you to understand the situation much better.

What do you recon are the key points for people who don't have 1h to watch with subtitles. Specifically related to the nuclear power plant news from today.
The key points of this terrible demagoguery, from what I could tell:

1) Russians have been conquered a lot and are very insecure

2) They're part Mongols and inherited fear and lies as state of being

3) Russians only respect strong Tsar and let the Tsar do whatever he wants as he appears strong and manufactures the fear through the lies

4) Russians are stupid and not capable of creating anything, only destruction. They stole anything technologically worthwhile.

5) Russia is a terrible autocratic imperialist country that is completely geopolitically irrational.

Any person taking this video at face value should conclude that Russia should be suppressed and destroyed, that would be a great service to the human kind. Yes, everything makes sense now.
