Ukraine Strike on Nuclear Site Raises Alarm

The strike has sparked criticism from experts, who question the wisdom of targeting nuclear infrastructure amid heightened tensions. Hans Kristensen, a nuclear arsenal expert, expressed that it was “not a wise decision on the part of Ukraine,” noting the distinction between hitting military sites used for direct assaults and those pivotal for nuclear deterrence."
