Plan to prevent a meltdown

The plan to connect the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to Russia's power grid is supposedly a backup plan to prevent a meltdown, if connections to Ukraine's grid are damaged.

Preventing a meltdown is important, But doing so that way would also enable Putin to steal the generated power. And the danger of a meltdown exists only because Putin stations troops in the plant.

Putin should demilitarize the plant and let someone repair the damaged redundant connections to Ukraine's grid.
