Ukraine war: Ukraine war has now turned 38 but still the war is not nearing its end. After peace talks between the two countries in Turkey, Russia had indicated to reduce attacks around Kyiv. Despite this, Russian attacks in other places continue. Meanwhile, the BBC has claimed that Russian soldiers are withdrawing from Chernobyl. The report claimed that Russian troops are now withdrawing from this Soviet Union-era nuclear plant. In such a situation, the question is arising whether Russia is lagging behind in Ukraine?
Inergotom, the state-owned company that operates a nuclear plant in Ukraine, says two Russian troops are now moving from Chernobyl to Belarus. An agreement has been reached in this regard. US defense officials have confirmed this.
Russian soldiers become victims of radiation
At the beginning of the war, the Russian army occupied Chernobyl. Ukraine said on Thursday morning the invaders announced the abandonment of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. Ukraine also claimed that Russian troops had dug a trench in Chernobyl’s most nuclear leak area, causing their forces to be exposed to radiation. Some soldiers are being treated in Belarus to remove the effects of radiation. The Russian soldiers did not even know that the area where they are digging a trench is the radiation zone. Although the Russian military says that when the nuclear plant was captured, the radiation level itself was normal. Significantly, the world’s largest nuclear accident happened in Chernobyl. Today the meaning of the word Chernobyl is synonymous with destruction.
impact on wildlife
Nuclear experts believed there was no longer a threat of a second Chernobyl. Professor Clary Corkhill of the University of Sheffield told that there is no active nuclear reactor at that place now. If a reservoir of radioactive smoke is hidden somewhere, then it is a different matter. The ruins of the Chernobyl nuclear plant caught fire in a Russian attack on 4 March. On this the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) criticized Russia and had also planned to go to that place. However, scientists had also expressed concern about this. Professor Nig Braceford is studying the abandoned zone. He says that after the attack on the Chernobyl nuclear plant, he no longer knows whether Ukrainian scientists will now be able to come to the lab built there. During the last 40 years, there had become a place for wildlife, but when people left there, many rare species also went away. Now we do not know what effect this will have on these wildlife.
