That may also explain why capturing nuclear power plants is so strategic in this war.

This has been the implied cause of action for a while. The fact that they had to spell it out explicitly is is cos the american public are to dumb to understand this has always been the implied alternative to proper support from allies.

Not really ukraine already has sufficient nuclear material expertise and equipment to build a plutonium based nuke. The power plants are mostly irrelevant except for dirty bomb type destruction. Its the nuclear waste reprocessing that is almost identical to the processes of refining a critical mass of plutonium. Stick that in a tube with 2 regular bombs and boom u got a nuke. Refining the plutonium is the hard part and ukraine has got that covered. Once u got the plutonium u can probably build a nuke in cave with a box of scraps.
