From Maia Mikhaluk in Kyiv (426th day):
37 years ago, on April 26, 1986, the largest man-made disaster in the history of mankind took place on the territory of Ukraine – the accident at the Chornobyl NPP. At the beginning of 2022, ruzzia used the territory of the Chornobyl exclusion zone and the Chornobyl nuclear power plant itself in an attempt to quickly transfer its troops to Ukraine to storm Kyiv.
The ruzzians captured the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on the very first day of a full-scale invasion. Having crossed the border with Belarus, the most combat-ready and modernized units of the ruzzian army moved to Kyiv on this route. The group with the tactical symbol V was assigned a decisive role in the capture of Kyiv: these occupying forces were to advance on the capital of Ukraine along the right bank of the Dnieper, capture the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Station, and then advance south and cut the Zhytomyr highway (international highway M06 Kyiv — Chop).
And although the plan of the occupiers mostly failed, from the very beginning of the invasion until March 31, 2022, the ruzzian troops held the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, making it one of their bases in the north of Ukraine. Personnel or power plant was kept hostage. When ruzzian troops were retreating they looted the place, stealing everything, including spoons and forks.
During their stay in the Chornobyl nuclear power plant zone, the ruzzin military also “distinguished themselves” by the most suicidal behavior. Employees of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant told that the ruzzians drove their equipment through the Red Forest, “raising clouds of radioactive dust,” without any radiation protection. One of the station’s specialists called it “suicide” and said that this dust could have caused internal exposure. Ruzzians also dug trenches in Red Forest.
Chornobyl came under control of Ukraine in the end of March 2022, but Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is still being used by ruzzians to blackmail the world with the possibility of nuclear disaster.
