Important increase in radiation in Chernobyl after being invaded by the Russians
Russian military and Ukrainian protection battalion guarantee the security of the former nuclear plant.
There is an increase in radiation levels in the exclusion zone of the Chernobyl nuclear station, after it was taken over by Russian forces, the nuclear agency reported.
In a statement from the agency, it was reported that the automated systems that allow the monitoring of radiation in the exclusion zone available online, have been indicating the increase in radiation at different observation points.
For now, it is difficult to define the reasons for the increase in current radiation, because of the current hostilities and occupation.
The former Chernobyl nuclear power plant was occupied by the Russian army. This place has become the scene of the biggest nuclear catastrophe in history, after heavy fighting against Ukrainian forces.
Volodimir Zelensky, President of Ukraine, sees the capture as a declaration of war against all of Europe.
In the capital of Ukraine, kyiv, it was determined that if the rest of the radioactives were damaged, nuclear dust could spread throughout the territory of Ukraine, countries of the European Union and Belarus.
For this, the president of Ukraine praised the fact that his soldiers surrendered so that the 1986 tragedy would not be repeated. However, he accepted that Russian soldiers caused the Ukrainian resistance to lose control over Chernobyl.
The Russian Ministry of Defense contradicted the information on the rise in the level of radiation in the area.
Igor Konashénkov, the spokesman for the Russian portfolio, stressed that the Russian military is in charge of keeping the Chernobyl facilities protected, supported by a Ukrainian battalion that is in charge of maintaining the security of the plant's sarcophagus and nuclear reactors.
