The only thing I could find in the archive NYTimes that the southpaw.com said was this...
"Eventually, Ukrainian officials believe their long-term success requires progress on the original goals in the discarded strategy, including recapturing the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia, cutting off Russian forces in Mariupol and pushing Russian forces in Kherson back across the Dnipro River, American officials said.
Russia has been weakened. By failing to detect Ukraine’s buildup around Kharkiv, the Russian military has demonstrated incompetence and shown that it lacks solid intelligence. Its command and control have been decimated and it is having trouble supplying its troops, giving Ukraine an opening in the coming weeks, U.S. officials said."
I'm not sure how this translates into Ukraine is bombing the nuclear power plant.
Here's a simple solution:
Putin leaves Ukraine alone and spends the rest of his life fishing in an unnamed lake in Siberia.
