Literally : “Russian soldiers who captured the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster drove their armored vehicles without radiation protection through a highly toxic area called the Red Forest, raising clouds of radioactive dust.”

Details: It is reported that many radiation safety sensors have shown “excess radiation levels”.

The large area around Chernobyl is closed to anyone who does not work there and does not have a special permit, but the Red Forest is considered so polluted that even workers at the nuclear power plant are not allowed there.

One of the employees said that he had talked to some ordinary Russian soldiers at the nuclear power plant.

Direct speech: “When they were asked if they knew about the 1986 catastrophe, about the explosion of the fourth power unit, they had no idea. They did not understand where they are.”VIDEO OF THE DAY

An employee of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant called the actions of the Russian military “suicide” and said that the radioactive dust inhaled by the occupiers could cause internal radiation.

Ukrainian workers said Russian “experts” who arrived in the Chornobyl zone about a week after the military were also unprotected.

Prehistory: 

  • On March 26, the Ministry of Environmental Protection  reported that the Russian occupiers were setting fire to dry land in the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which increased the level of radiation pollution.
  • Near the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, the Russian occupiers are transporting and storing tens of tons of artillery shells, which poses a threat to the environmental security of the world.

  1. I can’t say that I feel sorry for those morons. As a matter of fact, why don’t they let their entire army march through there. Heck, they can even bivouac right there in the Red Forest.
    My son, my lady and I were there in late December with a small tourist group. It’s an eerie place to be. We stayed on the road and spent only about ten or fifteen minutes to take pictures before we scrambled back out of there again.

    • Its a big joke among the Ukrainians to let the Moskali keep digging war trenches in Chernobyl, lol…
      The doctors say after 5 minutes of exposure you can start losing your skin. Bus loads of Moskali NOW go to Belarus for treatment. Stupidmotherfuckers…they can choke on their propaganda for all I care.

      • The stupidity of the ruskies never ceases to amaze me. They have a lot in common with the krauts.

  2. Ok, here it is, the article.
    I say they really don’t seem to care about their own staff the slightest. Crazy this.

    Actually i do feel sorry about them, these men are let down and stabbed in the back by their own government.
