Yury is happy to talk both from inside perspective vis the family connection, re: the broader implications of the nuclear power grab by Russia, but near and long-term implications for the Ukraine (both he and his grandfather support Ukraine in this war, by the way):

• He can talk about how well protected the nuclear reactors are and the extent to which they are designed to  sustain disturbances (e.g. earthquakes), and their limits
• How, even if there is no nuclear contamination/leakage, there could be serious implication for power grid reliability and long-term service interruption in Ukraine.
• How, in addition to direct nuclear contamination and grid reliability, there could be a concern related to accessing waste nuclear materials including U-238 from old reactors by malicious actors.
• Other long-term implications
