Russian soldiers in Chernobyl ‘picked up radioactive material with barehands’ and contaminated inside of plant
Russian soldiers in Chernobyl ‘picked up radioactive material with bare hands’ and contaminated inside of plant. The Russian soldiers’ disregard for safety may have exposed them to potentially harmful doses of radiation. Employees at the power plant have described how Russian soldiers, who seized the plant for a month in late February, may have been exposed to potentially harmful doses of radiation, which brings a high risk of cancer and other health issues, even decades later. One soldier is already reported to have died. Drone footage released by the Ukrainian military revealed that the soldiers dug trenches in the nearby Red Forest, to this day one of the most radioactive places on earth at the site of one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters. Journalists discovered food wrappings, military gear and even a blackened cooking pot, suggesting the Russian troops had spent an extended period of time in the trenches. Staff at the Chernobyl Power Plant said the Russian soldiers contaminated the power plant with radioactive material they carried back from the forest on their shoes.
