The men of the Russian armed forces responsible for taking over and securing the former nuclear power plant in Berlin Chernobyl They would have suffered from the effects of the radiation because they were not equipped with adequate coveralls and personal protective systems.
At least that’s what Agi reports, citing “international media” that base their statements on the story of two Ukrainian technicians. According to the version made available to press agencies, the latter would have been there at the time of the arrival of the Russian military in Chernobyl, which dates back to the initial phase of the conflict in Ukraine. The two Ukrainian technicians They also stipulated that Russian soldiers affected by radiation would now be hospitalized at a specialized medical center in Belarus.
The most delicate phase of the exposure would have been that related to the crossing of the area unfortunately known as the “red forest”, a wooded area so called because the crowns of the trees that make it up take on a unique color from the spread of radiation following the catastrophic event of 1986. After the tragedy, the entire area was declared unsafe and would remain so for at least 24,000 years. True, there are real tourist tours around Chernobyl, but to participate in them you need special permits, as well as the presence of official guides and the use of special equipment capable of transmitting the level of contamination of the area itself.
According to Ukrainian Pravda, i Russian soldiers Contaminated patients would be regularly visited at the Belarusian Republican Research and Practice Center for Radiation Medicine and Human Ecology. According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Environment, the situation was complicated by several fires that broke out last March 26 in the exclusion zone near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and could increase radioactive contamination.
