While Russia’s attacks on Ukraine continue, the developments in Chernobyl, where the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant is located, are followed with concern all over the world. Finally, a fire broke out in Chernobyl, which was the target of the Russian bombardments of Ukraine. The said statement was made by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources.
“INCREASE IN RADIATION LEVEL IS OBSERVED”
In a statement made by the ministry, “There is an increase in the level of radiation in the fires caused by the Russian bombings and the racists setting the forests on fire. In the current satellite images, it was determined that the fires started at 31 different points,” it was stated that the fires continued.
THE PROGRESS OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY CONTINUES IN CHERNOBIL
The town of Slavutich in Chernobyl came under the control of the Russian army in the early hours of the day, and Slavutich Mayor Yuryi Fomichev announced that the town was occupied by Russia. “We received an ultimatum by Russian troops three days ago to surrender the city without a fight,” Fomichev said. However, despite this, we defended the city resolutely. But Slavutich is under occupation from today on.”
Chernobyl Disaster
On the other hand, in 1986, the world’s worst nuclear accident occurred in the region where the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which was under the control of Russia, is located. Although the power plant is not in operation, it needs to be constantly checked. While the old nuclear zone continues to be a source of great concern, the Ukrainian parliament stated that forest fires broke out around the power plant in the past days, based on images taken from satellite images.
