40 years ago, the world faced one of the largest nuclear disasters – the fourth reactor of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded. With its war, russia is once again putting the world on the brink of a man-made disaster: Russian-Iranian "Shaheds" constantly fly over the station, and one of them struck the confinement last year. This was reported by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, UNN reports.
40 years ago, the world faced one of the largest nuclear disasters – the fourth reactor of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded. A significant amount of radioactive substances was released outside. Hundreds of thousands of people have been overcoming the consequences of that tragedy for years
The President emphasized that to contain the radiation, a sarcophagus was built over the destroyed reactor. Later, more than 40 countries covered it with a safe confinement to prevent new disasters.
These two structures are what protect against radiation emissions and contamination. Their maintenance and protection are in the interests of everyone. But with its war, Russia is once again putting the world on the brink of a man-made disaster: Russian-Iranian "Shaheds" constantly fly over the station, and one of them struck the confinement last year
According to him, the world must not allow this nuclear terrorism to continue, and the best way is to force Russia to stop its insane attacks.
We remember everyone who gave their life eliminating the consequences of this tragedy. Bright memory to all victims of the Chornobyl disaster
