UK to provide £192m loan guarantee to boost Ukraine nuclear capabilities

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Energy secretary Grant Shapps has visited Ukraine to announce fresh financial support for its nuclear fuel supply in a bid to end its reliance on Russia.

According to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the new loan will take the UK's non-military financial assistance to Ukraine close to £5bn.

On his visit to Ukraine, Mr Shapps met senior Ukrainian ministers and energy industry figures and visited a power station that is undergoing repairs after it was damaged by Russian bombing.

He also visited a children's nursery attended by Nikita, the young son of the family he took in under the UK's Homes for Ukraine scheme - where he played a recorded message from the boy.

That's a chonkin' tank in the background. What kind of tank or self-propelled artillery is that?
- 2S19 Msta-S , from what I could gather. The western ones (M109, Krab, PzH 2000, etc.) all have a turret with overhang.

Brinkmanship
- The article is talking about nuclear power plants. There is no mention of nuclear weapons. Ukraine gave all its nukes to Russia decades ago.
