WHY is this story important? A minimum of two sentences


required.
This story is important because it is opening a new era of war.
Now we are attacking the nuclear power plants to directly shut
down their power.
BIAS in the article? What other perspectives and/or arguments
should be considered based on what you read in the article?
Why? If none, why not?
I think they are biased against Russia. Russia is only attacking
because Ukraine attacked first. I don’t know why this article has it
out for Russia.
