“It has been confirmed that the occupiers, who occupied the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and other facilities in the Exclusion Zone, marched in two columns towards the Ukrainian border with the Republic of Belarus,” Energoatom said in a statement to the Telegram. On April 26, 1986, an explosion struck reactor No. 4 at Chernobyl, killing at least 30 people. Countless others died from radiation symptoms in the following years. In late February, during the first week of the war, the factory and the surrounding area fell into the hands of Russian troops. On Thursday, Russian troops announced their intention to withdraw and hand over control to Ukrainian personnel, Energoatom reported. It also published a copy of an official letter allegedly signed by a Russian National Guard spokesman, a representative of the Russian state nuclear company Rosatom and a shift manager at the Chernobyl plant, entitled “The act of acceptance and transfer of of Chernobyl “. The letter states that “the administration of the protected facility makes no claims in relation to the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation”. Radiation Allegations: A Telegram statement from Energoatom stated that a small number of “racists” – a Ukrainian insult to Russians combining the words “fascist” and “racist” – remained at the station. “It should be noted that information about fortifications and trenches built by the racists in the Red Forest, the most contaminated in the entire Exclusion Zone, has also been confirmed,” Energoatom said. It is therefore not surprising that the occupiers received significant doses of radiation and panicked at the first signs of illness. And it manifested itself very quickly. “As a result, there was almost a riot among the military and they began to gather from there,” the statement continued. CNN could not immediately confirm these allegations. Read more:
