Why would Russia blow up the NPP when they’re winning the war?

Right, but they are not, they are ~~barely holding~~ losing ground.

And causing a nuclear disaster would help with this how? PS: When you hold part of your opponents country that means you're winning.

They have a child-like mentality. If they can't have it, then blow it up. Now no one gets it.

Please explain your argument, I do not think it makes any sense but instead dangerously misjudges the Russian government/military.

Assuming they have a child-like mentality:

Why is there no massive bombardment of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure? Might as well do that for cities out of reach instead of blowing up a NPP.
Why didn't Putin order to have all Wagner soldiers killed after what happened a few days ago?
