It goes far beyond STUPENDOUS to claim that Russia shelled and keep shelling own forces and the largest Nuclear Power station in it's control for days.

Obviously all Western press and Zelensky think we all are idiots to believe this nonsense.

Yes Zelensky forces shelling this nuclear power station because Russia is about to disconnect them. So this is a part of usual Energy Wars. Zelensky is hoping that with help of UN, Britain and the USA, Russia will keep Ukraine connected for free energy.

Yes Zelensky speaks English and Russian.

It was his Ukrainian that used to be really really bad, when he mumble some repetitive nonsense for hours. It did improve.
