"tell them they've reached the wrong department" this is actually isn't even a lie, since You are supposed to sell, not support.
I mean, You are supposed to do what You are paid for.

At some point in our company we had a bonus calculated based on billable hours and travel wasn't part of that.
I told my direct management that this clearly was a message from the top management that travel was to be avoided and hence I'd refuse to work on projects where it is required and if they try to sack me for that I'd report them for sabotaging the corporate strategy.
Worked out better than I would expect.

Why should I believe the Ukrainian side rather the Russian on this specific topic.
Do russians have more reasons to shell the plant than the ukrainins themselves ?

This is not a city that You need to take no matter what, even if there are military forces that decided to entrench there (almost as stupid as shelling it) one can just walk around.
Preventing the electricity to be produced doesn't require to take control of the plant.
Considering that the building on fire is not related to the reactors why should we rule out a false flag ?

Russia has few arguments and I'll let You decide how valid they are.

0) The memorandum isn't legally binding (but it's still a promise)
1) Russia didn't break the Ukrainian territorial integrity, the popular will expressed in a referendum in Crimea did.
        Many will call it a fraud but if You have a look at the demographics You'll understand that the outcome is aligned with the reality,
        some will say it's illegal but there are accepted precedents.
        Russia simply welcomed newly independent Crimea per their request.
2) The memorandum wasn't only about territorial integrity but also about not interfering with internal affairs.
US clearly did that first: cf Nuland "f*ck EU" and Obhama declaration about brokering the regime change.
Therefore the Memorandum was breached before Crimea

3) As for the current invasion, the Russia's point is that they are freeing Ukraine from foreign influence, they don't have territory claims.

Again, it's up to everyone to ponder how valid is this, I am just sharing it as information about Russia stance.

Comment CPR is not for revival, it's for preservation (Score 1) 59

When attending a first aid training I was told that CPR aim is to prevent the heart from completely stopping while the defibrillator is on the way.
Sometimes miracles happen and the heart can restart beating normally but most of the time performing CPR simply keeps it fibrillating and circulates the blood.
For that reason no matter how long, You have to continue either till You can confirm the heartbeat and breathing is back (miracle) or the professional rescuers take over, even if You do it wrong it's better than doing nothing.
Performing CPR takes lot of endurance, better take turns each couple of minutes.
It takes strength, during the training we were told that a good CPR may break a rib or two.
Even if You use a semi-automatic defibrillator (the quicker You get one the better, each lost minute is 10% less chances of survival), You still should continue the CPR between shocks (but distance Yourself when the shock is being administrated).
