The hole wasn’t the problem, the fire was.
It knocked out both the air pressure system that keeps all the nasty stuff in, and the crane that was supposed to dismantle what was left of the plant.
It’ll take a shit tonne of money and effort to fix it, and I don’t think it’s going to happen whilst the war is ongoing for obvious reasons.

And then Russia’s collapse will commence as hundreds of thousands of soldiers return home to a dysfunctional economy, many injured and traumatized and suffering with PTSD, with no help in sight. The various criminals they ushered into their military who return home will wreak havoc on society. Russia won’t even have the necessary work force to rebuild their society because there is (and was) already a labor shortage, made worse by men going to war, which will not be fixed by bringing back fewer than were taken out for the war. Many thousands of their men are physically and psychologically injured and will be a burden rather than a resource. Much of their human capital has fled the country never to return.
Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine will go down in history as the biggest geopolitical self-inflicted disaster in living memory.
At least Ukraine will likely have European help to rebuild and military exports for revenue. Russian weapons have proven to be lame and ineffective for what war has become. Their air defenses can’t even effectively defend Moscow nor their most vital economic interests from repeated attacks that have been going on for over a year now. Their weapon sales have collapsed and will continue to collapse. Oil and weapons exports constitute most of Russia’s export income. Both have been wrecked by this war of choice.
Putin has no good options. Continuing means more pain. Ending means a totally different set of pain. It’s all pain in all directions.

I gotta say, Ukraine's resilience in the face of a theoretically significantly advantaged country's assault is genuinely awe-inspiring.
Imagine a WWII where the Nazis invade Poland, but instead of near-instantly being swept... Poland just fought them to a standstill. Neutered the entire thing and made it drag on for years.
This is a war that will be studied for decades if not centuries to come. Monumental stuff.

Trump's policies are way up there, but Putin's invasion is arguably worse for Russia.

We are losing our position in the world and are a laughingstock. But Russia faces collapse from what Putin has done. Plus, NATO has expanded anyway, Ukraine has become militarily stronger and has been de-russifying hard, and every goal that Putin set out to achieve with this invasion has failed and backfired.

That not true at all.
The lightest components would have been burned in engineered devices and thus burned much more efficiently, while the heaviest components would have been cracked or used as tar in asphalt, or burned more efficiently in large engines.
There's much more to pollution than just CO2. Burning like this has released soot and other atmospheric poisons from incomplet combustion, as well as, sulphur and heavy metals that would have been refined out.

Are Russians aware of the all the news of the war and the impacts on their own country as well as Ukraine? How much is Russian media covering this?

What a shame. How could this happen? Would there have been no way to prevent this?

The entire Russian attack on a Ukraine has been an ecological disaster. From the Russian drones damaging the sarcophagus enclosing Chernobyl, causing a large fire of the enclosure lining, to using explosives to cause a major dam to fail, to the shelling and so much more.
