US taking over the power plants would be the best protection for them, says Leavitt.

Surely that's tantamount to an admission that no-one trusts Russia to stick to any deal? If Russia did stick to a deal, there would be no need for 'protection'.

Mobster tactics.

Will be interesting to see what kind of ruzzian non-energy infrastructure UKR will target now, to be more painful than the ruzzian attacks on UKR civil targets in Odessa and elsewhere.

You'd hope so but France is drawing its feet with Ukraine EU funding along with Hungary (under Orban) and Slovakia (under Fico) at the moment.Slovakia will allow others to fund but not it. Hungary will cave or will lose its voting rights.

the backup generator thing seems to be true. but the cause of it who knows. Edit: Sounds like the back up generator was on the same site as the fire.

2nd back up also seems to have not triggered as they are trying to get it up and running.

Most major incidents around (re Heathrow, remember the Buncefield fire?) are caused by cockup, not sabotage. We know nothing whatever about the cause of this yet AFAICT, speculation is pointless.
