This will be the next 'amnesty' type report for Ukraine:
Russia has had control over the Zaporizhzhia facility for months.
They obviously aren't the one's attacking it- it simply isn't logical. Look at a map: Russia would also not want all of that nuclear contamination (physical damage, airborne, water, land and breadbasket) so close to their country and affecting their water ways. Russia isn't pushing the nuclear disaster envelope, but someone is. the quests we should be asking are:
Who would benefit from this?
Why would they be doing this?

Flashback to May:Ukraine nuclear inspectorate accuses IAEA of falling for Russian propaganda
"Moscow's forces have occupied the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, the largest of its kind in Europe. Shortly before the invasion, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Ukraine was using Soviet know-how to create its own nuclear weapons."
"Oleg Korikov, acting head of the inspectorate, said IAEA director general Rafael Grossi had this week told the World Economic Forum at Davos that there were large stocks of plutonium and enriched uranium at the plant that could be used to make nuclear weapons. Korikov said this was totally untrue."
In other words:
Ukraine did not want the IAEA to inspect the facility.
The Russians insisted and the IAEA came.
Prior to the war Russia claimed Ukraine was going to make it's own nuclear weapons.
At this nuclear facility plutonium and enriched uranium were indeed found and the IAEA confirmed it as such after inspection.
Ukraine says the IAEA fell for Russian propaganda.
Flashback to May:Ukraine says any IAEA visit to occupied Zaporizhzhia ‘unacceptable’
"The nuclear power plant - the largest in Europe - is still being operated by its Ukrainian staff, but has been under the control of Russian military forces since the start of March."
Flashback to May:Ukrainian weapons grade nuclear materials prompt alarm
"Six nuclear reactors, 30,000 kilograms of plutonium, 40,000 kilograms of enriched uranium."
"The biggest concern, he added, is that when inspectors are eventually able to take inventory of the stock, “we end up finding out that there are a few hundred kilograms of nuclear weapon-grade material going missing. This is what keeps us awake at night at the moment.”"
Flashback to May:The IAEA is concerned: Zaporozhye NPP stored huge stocks of plutonium and enriched uranium
"Huge reserves of plutonium and enriched uranium were stored on the territory of the Zaporozhye NPP. Presumably their volume is about 70 tons."
"The official claims that there were 30 tons of plutonium and 40 tons of enriched uranium at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant"
"then danger may threaten the entire European continent. Especially if Zelensky was not bluffing when talking about plans to create a Ukrainian atomic bomb. Actually, this statement of his was one of the main reasons why Russia had to start its own special operation."
