What are the immediate implications of Ukraine's plan to use two older Bulgarian reactors for its energy independence?

Ukraine's President Zelenskyy is pushing parliament to approve the construction of two nuclear reactors from Bulgaria at the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant. These reactors, originally intended for Bulgaria's Belene plant in the 1980s, are crucial for Ukraine's energy independence and regional stability, according to Zelenskyy following discussions with the IAEA chief. The project's approval was recommended by the parliamentary energy committee in June.
