Ukrainians shocked by 'crazy' scene at Chernobyl after Russian pullout reveals radioactive contamination
Chernobyl, Ukraine (CNN)The sudden ear-piercing beep of a radiation meter fills the room as a Ukrainian soldier walks in. This is where Russian soldiers were living at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and radiation levels are now higher than normal.
There's no visible presence of the source of the radioactive material in the room, but Ukrainian officials say it's coming from small particles and dust that the soldiers brought into the building.
"They went to the Red Forest and brought radioactive material back with them on their shoes," soldier Ihor Ugolkov explains. "Other places are fine, but radiation increased here, because they were living here."
CNN was given exclusive access to the power plant for the first time since it came back into Ukrainian control.
Officials at the plant explain the levels inside the room used by Russian soldiers are only slightly above what the World Nuclear Association describes as naturally occurring radiation. One-time contact would not be dangerous but continuous exposure would pose a health hazard.
"They went everywhere, and they also took some radioactive dust on them [when they left]," Ugolkov adds.
It's an example of what Ukrainian officials say was the lax and careless behavior of Russian soldiers while they were in control of the site of the 1986 nuclear disaster. The area around Chernobyl, namely the Red Forest, is still the most nuclear contaminated area on the planet, with most of the radioactive particles present on the soil.

You can take the Russian troops out of Chernobyl, but you can’t take Chernobyl out of the Russian troops.
You win the internet today, Sir.😁
Thank You Very Much , my gratitude !

Beautifully savage! 🤣🤣

I'll bet HBO never thought they'd get material for a sequel to Chernobyl.
underrated comment tbh
That series was RIVETING. Especially because of just how much was factual (even though some characters and events were combined, altered, or hastened).

Yes,I can do that!😀
It has to be a comedy this time.
The Red Forest was so contaminated in areas that the trees died but didn't rot because most of the microbes and wildlife died, the Soviets had to dig up and bury the most contaminated trees and topsoil.
Absolutely not an area you want to start digging trenches and bunkers in.
I'm so impressed with the engineers at the facility, they knew they had a job to do despite the war situation and kept at it, trying to keep the generators running and monitor the stored material as best they could.
I wouldn’t imagine Chernobyl being too hard to capture, after all it being an exclusion zone for people. It just is mind blowing the disregard for safety. Unbelievable.
It’s hilarious how they took over a radioactive place just to get radiation contamination and bring it back to Russia.
So ironic i think😂
Ukrainians are smarter than Those Dumb Russians
Life is cheap in Russia. Human wave attacks continue.
Russian soldier: "We are dug in and ready for an attack, but nobody has tried to take it from us. It's almost as if they don't want this place."
😂
That’s right, Russia, just keep your troops right there, and stay in that radioactive mess
Congratulations on your prize winnings!!
Um, duh??
sure that was a factor, Putin didn't want the financial and resource burden of maintaining the Chernobyl exclusion zone, not that he allows the Russian citizens to be knowledgeable enough to now better, that would endanger the power the gov has over the citizens.
Burrowing into contaminated soil says a lot about the intelligence of Russian soldiers.
Honestly when I saw a report that they were digging in the Red Forrest. The Red FUCKING Forrest! My jaw just dropped to the floor. These kids are going to die horribly. Depending on how much dust they breathed in or it got onto their food they could be dead in weeks.
It's more that they've been misinformed their entire lives. I highly doubt the Russians teach Chernobyl as the massive disaster it was, since it was their fault. Russians are bad at admitting mistakes.
@@Exile1a They could also kill other people, depending on how radioactive they are.
Thank You Very Much , my gratitude !
Think a six year old kid would suss that is was dangerous
In 1986, a huge area around the reactor had such high levels of fall-out in the top soil, they dug up all the topsoil and buried it under itself, to stop radioactive dust being spread by the wind.
That topsoil remains radioactive for centuries. You start digging trenches and foxholes in that area, you will dig it up.
And, unless you're very, very well protected, which is unlikely, it will kill you.
These Russians are insane, or were, soon.
it's contaminated for centuries but levels have dropped significantly. no one will get acute radiation poisoning from this. the levels shown aren't high enough. maybe slight increase I cancer risk but that's about it

5:13 "The Russians have no concept of nuclear safety", the soviet Russians caused Chornobyl in 1986 because of their lack of a concept of nuclear safety.
It was UKRAINIANS running the plant. Their decision to keep the information about the disaster from Moscow HQ was what was the real story of ineptitude and corruption. They do not call the Ukraine the most corrupt country in Europe for nothing.
You dont think the plant was operated by Soviet Ukrainians?

NICELY PUT!!!
I'm a radiation protection expert and I think this video was well done. 11.3 microSievert per hour is indeed significant, but not really dangerous. It is the maximum a radiation worker may receive during work hours for a full year before reaching the dose limit. The evidence for radiation induced damage starts at 200,000 microSievert. I don't expect the Russian soldiers have received that amount or more, but I don't have sufficient data to be 100 percent certain.
Kind regards from the Netherlands!
thank you. that was my opinion as well. A CT scan is up to 10 millisieverts which would be like 1000 hours or about a month. so they all got a CT scan.
only thing that might be significant is if they inhaled a lot of dust with alpha emitters
Lol you guys spew out the first thing Google lists on the subject and you call yourself experts. What a joke.
how many bananas is that?
Thats trusting the people telling the workers this. Every study ever done on dangerous work is bs because rich people dont care about us slaves

Yes it said aLot
Yeah, me too! I actually laughed
Being locked away in the bomb shelter while the russians are digging trenches in the red forrest must be one of the best scenarios for the workers and staff in chernobyl, they avoided inhaling those deadly dust from the digging and movement of heavy equipment above
Could be why they were put there
That's the truth! Thank goodness they weren't killed either!
It speaks alot about how intelligent Russians are. Before all this started, I thought Russians would have an impressive army. They are exceptionally cruel, but it seems they're pretty incompetent. It's basically a terrorist state full of thugs.
@@dawncunningham6051 They were all taken away to Russia....I wouldn't say that just yet. The men taking them there ARE contaminated.
That's what makes fallout so fun. It's a real crowd pleaser, the re-gift that keeps on giving, and likes to go on tour with all your contaminated victims and gear.
@@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing Considering the recent statements from Russian state media (aka the Kremlin) openly, explicitly advocating for the literal extermination of the entire Ukrainian people, culture, and language, I think it’s very doubtful that any Ukrainian taken away by the Russians will ever be seen alive again.
It's crazy how just 8 years ago when the Russians first invaded, the Ukrainians were using 1960s and 70s Soviet equipment, now they are using the most advanced NATO equipment, crazy how far the've come in such a short time!
Not really. You have one country begging for weapons and is motivated by a loss already, one country (or more) who would love to see their weapons battle tested, and the profiteers applying pressure to make it all happen. This all happened as easily as Amazon ships you packages and nearly as quickly. Add to this mix that the West would love to see Russia fail, by proxy of Ukraine, and you have every thing you need to enable an archaic military to catch up very quickly.
That's what happens when the USA uses u to fight its war. They did it with my people in Vietnam. Now im an America. Lol

Those Russian troops involved digging defense positions at the site will die from the radiation. Incredible ignorance of the dangers involved, or total lack of concern by on site military leadership.
Definitely the lack of concern. These soldiers are being abused as well.
If you think putin cares about his soldiers health and wellbeing you are dead wrong the man only cares for himself and his land
@@svgkaos7826 I agree with you. I was making the point that the Russian troops had bad or unconcerned leaders.
Russia has always had a military doctrine that values tactical advantage over soldier survival
@para1324 None of the soldiers have died. I think you over-exaggerate just how radioactive that area is now. All of the short lived high intensity isotopes have decayed long ago. After Russians pulled out, dosimetry studies were performed in that area and scientists have surmised that dose rates were negligible for these soldiers. Sorry to burst your bubble.
How could Russian army allow their own soldiers to be exposed to radiation for a month. If they can treat their own soldiers with such disdain, it goes someway to explain how they can be so cruel to Ukranians
They are cruel but also stupid. Putin is showing the world the education of the Russian people
Exactly. They don't care about Ukrainians, or about their soldiers (and generals), or even about their poor population suffering with economic sanctions. But they apparently care about big yachts, a lot.

because they are expendable , they treat there citizens with such contempt do you really think they treat there own troupes any better , simple answer no ! as long as the Russian leaders get what they want they dont care about any one outside there inner circle as far as they are concerned everyone outside that are all expendable
People have been living in the exclusion zone since Chernobyl happened and not all have cancer. They're just trying to scare people.

Thank You Very Much , my gratitude !
I’m genuinely scared-
I've noticed a common thread concerning the behaviour of Russian soldiers. It seems many (if not most) of them are from peasant villages in Russia, less often cities. With peasant poverty comes a lack of infrastructure and therefore poor education.
These guys are literally ignorant savages.
Nice one!
The soldier cracked a smile when they talked about how the Russian soldiers got radioactive material all over themselves. Those Russian soldiers who dug the holes are screwed. Such bad military leadership and poor planning . It is super scary that Russian military protocol for radioactive areas are scary.
Vat is protokol?
@@SuperLeica1 Always measure for radiation and when it starts beeping, go back the way you came. Don't dig into it and get all that fallout all over you. And eating it because it got on you and you didn't wash your hands or it got into your nose or your eyes means it stays inside you. It keeps irradiating you. Nobody with the sense that God gave geese would be in that.
They probably didn’t even know. Ordered by their officers who don’t care
thats how the russian military works though. to them the winner in war is apparently whoever loses the most soldiers lmao
Harry Cee - It's not down to poor military leadership and bad planning. It's down to the well-known fact that the Russian military doesn't give a flying fuck about the safety of its soldiers and never has done.
It's amazing these Russians were not taught about the tragedy in school.
"Radiation has increased on this floor."
What a great idea to bring the reporter and operator there without protective clothing.
You get checked for contamination afterwards anyway, likely the risks were assessed properly. Trust me, I am an actual RPE and have been at the site.
not enough to hurt you instantly. probably like an xray an hour or sum. def wouldnt wanna stay long term tho
"The Russians have absolutely no concept of -nuclear- safety."

This is troubling. I wonder if any of it is true.
I'm honest to God surprised they didn't try to sabotage the waste containment facilities to create a second disaster on purpose. Thankfully, it's harder to do than it sounds.

with that attitude they would have campt around the elephant shoe enjoying some heat, god knows if they would have brought souveniers back home :P

...And make sure you give it a glowing review so your friends will come, too!
The BBC reported on this before CNN's "exclusive." The staff at Chernobyl were interrogated at length by the Russian soldiers and teams from the Russian nuclear agency also came, so SOME Russians knew what the safety situation was. But whoever was in charge of the soldiers did not care.

@@mr.spokesman5849 no... no they can't. That danger has long since passed. In layman's terms, there's short and long term radiation. the short term radiation decayed quickly, and the long term was absorbed into the soil. The radiation being given off by the "Elephant's Foot" is contained by the dome, and has seen a consistent decrease in radiation over the decades. The disaster itself irradiated some water, but short of digging up truckloads of contaminated soil and dumping it in a water supply, you're not poisoning the water.

@@DepakoteMeister yep, America's shame.
And they should be introduced to the beautiful Red Forest which some Ukrainian politicians wanted to be opened to the public 😂
The instrument in the video shows about 11.3 microsievert/hour which is actually almost 100 times more than background, at least where I live. Hopefully they got more from breathing radioactive dust from the trench digging. All russians should be invited to dig trenches in Chernobyl, it's good physical activity and experience that changes you from the inside out.
It is also 1/10 of some places in my work. Also on the surface of things i regularly lift it says 2000 easily. It is much more complicated. 11.3 is a lot to live in for years, but no problem for few weeks. BUT if the place is filled with dust that you breath in, ingest, that gets tou your eyes, then it is a whole different thing. So, 11.3 is a lot, but not scary. Contamination that gets inside you and stays in is much more scary.
@@Silly_Brain yeah.
They cannot tell much without getting spectrometer to analyse isotope composition of the dust.
11uSv from Alpha emitters of poor bioavailabilty , like uranium , strontium or caesium (and i bet this is exactly such mix) is not really bad, uranium and strontium stays in the bones making you feel bad weather , but that's all, caesium gets removed from the body eventually.
If it was cadmium or carbon, then it's worse, and cadmium might be still present in red forrest, where dust from evaporated rods stays. Though i doubt it makes full 11uSv, perhaps only 1% of that is cadmium.
The fools who dug the trenches seem to have been exposed to over 70 microsieverts for several days, poor fools. Allegedly one genius even picked up a piece of Cobalt-60 from a damaged containment unit with his bare hands.
@@luxborealis where you got the info about dude who got cobalt source?

What kind of radiation are you handling?
But seriously, Wikipedia states:
The annual limit of nuclear workers by the EPA is 50 millisieverts or in emergency situations up to 250mSv.
You should not have those high readings at your workplace "regular"
The sources i found state.
Readings from 2005 in the Red Forest showed radiation levels up to 10mSv/h.
While a more recent drone survey still showed 1,2mSv/h at the top soil in that region.
If the russian ration is already emanating 10 uSv/h (microsieverts per hour)
The soldiers eating and breathing and digging and the equipment on them will have suffered higher dose.
And they brought the contamination back to belarus.
Endangering their own civilians.

It seems like the level of technical know how hasn't improved much in the Russian army.
I've heard similar stories about Red Army soldiers unscrewing and stealing lightbulbs from public buildings, in the vain hope they'll work like magical eternal flashlights or something. :-p These might be tall tales, but honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if some soldiers behaved like that.

I know several people from Russia are against the behavior of Putin. So my apologies if I made it sound like every person in Russia was evil. I meant the mentality of Putin.
You know this discussion probably took place:
Dimitri: Come on, let's check the old reactor, there could be people hiding there.
Sergey: Are you sure its a good idea? I heard there is a rock that can kill you just by looking at it somewhere around here.
Dimitri: Stop being such a negative Nathasha Sergey, there is no such thing! You watch too much American propaganda.
Especially considering RBMK reactors do not explode, comrade! ;)
I'm pretty sure that "rock" they're calling is the wish granter of the monolith
That's likely exactly how it went....
3 ouf 4 of my grandparents died of cancer. I would not wish that on anyone. I thought that I would never wish that on anyone. But after what the Russians have done to Ukrainians (My Grandfather who died of lungcancer was born in Western Ukraine and I am 75% Ukrainian. He fled Ukraine during WW2 because he didn't want to fight for the Russians) a part of me thinks that those Russians are getting what they deserve.
They will have a glowing future! (I'm sorry, I'm a bad person.)
Even if they don't deserve it (and they probably do), it's inevitable anyways now that they had brought it upon themselves.
Putin needs a meet and greet these men, perhaps have lunch with them? My evil side comes out, even though Bible prophecy says mankind has worse yet to inflict on his fellow man before Christ comes and puts a stop to it all.
SOS from Russia: Goodwill people! Every day brings new victims. FORCE NATO to CLOSE the SKY OVER UKRAINE. This is the only way to stop Putin. Otherwise, you will be the next victim of his aggression! Putin is a WORLDWIDE CRIMINAL but don't be afraid of a nuclear strike from his side - he cannot do it alone, and the top militaries around him have families and want to live. It's just a threat on his part. He uses your fear to prevent military aid to Ukraine. BY NOT CLOSING the SKY OVER Ukraine NATO becomes an ACCOMPLICE of Putin's CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
Never forget that Hilary and obumer sold URANIUM to Russia . Libtardds be outraged
11 microsieverts is very low and is roughly equivalent to the radiation dose in a passager plane flying a circumpolar route.
Nice subtitles
Oleksandr Lobada, a radiation safety supervisor at the station has said that down in the basement of the main building, are dormitory-style rooms that have been completely ransacked. The floor is littered with rugs, mattresses, clothes, shoes, and other personal belongings of the Ukrainian national guard who were held there. Officials at Chernobyl say Russian soldiers looted what they could when they left, and they also took the captive members of the national guard with them. We were able to keep the site safe. But it's upsetting that they took 169 of our military.
It's not confirmed where the men are being held, but Chernobyl's staff believe they are in Russia.
Petro Poroshenko, Ukraine's former president, visited Chernobyl on Friday with food and other supplies for the plant's personnel. Access to it has only just opened up through an off-road track. The bridge to Chernobyl was blown up to stop Russia's advance.

Yes,I can do that!😀
knowing this is the fate of those who surrender maybe its best to hold position and die in battle
russia has become a terrorist state under putin .
Now taking hostages , whats next
Beheading videos and ransom demands .
Poroshenko should be locked away there.
The tragedy is that the cruel and ignorant Russian officers who gave these orders were probably not even exposed. It is the rank and file who are suffering.
Just goes to show how little the much-hyped Russian military cares about the average grunts. That's not even getting into the brutality-obsessed culture of hazing... Despicable, all of it.
The rank and file are also the ones who have been carrying out most of the rapes and executions so it's hard to have sympathy.
@@krashd yeah but the ghost of kiev is real right? so everything else is real, what the ukrainians have been saying right? just like all those innocent people with camo gear who died in the mall that was being used a peaceful ammo dump for those peaceful mrls trucks. lol ukraine has lost 65% of their military capability during the last few days of march.
That’s the ignorance that is propaganda they probably don’t even know about Chrysoberyls contaminated soil.
I can't feel empathy for the average grunts tho, because they're the ones who'd maim, rape and kill civilians the moment they get to raid a city.
This kind of disregard for nuclear safety is what led to the Chernobyl meltdown to begin with...
Everyone panicking over a flare softly landing in the parking lot
It's still impressive that Ukraine's forces have been able to not only hold their own against Russian forces, but even cause them to retreat. Ukraine has shown its strength to the world and has our support!

They also showed the world what true patriotism should look like. America has lost its way!
Thank You Very Much , my gratitude !
Dont forget the billions of U.S. $$$$ and equipment were giving them...Ukraine has nothing w out handouts
@@devilsson6660 Back in the day Ukraine had a nuclear defence.
I wonder what happened to it, and why.....
One side note:
Not all Russians are insane, but the Russian political and military leadership is insane.
Agreed. Some Russian Soldiers even disobeyed orders and tried to warn civilians about an incoming attack on a certain train station.
Inept troops and inept leadership.
When the tumor in vlad's brain is the smartest cat in the room . lol
What's the difference between the soldiers being there and the reporters? Did the reporter not get exposed to radiation by going there and standing in the same locations as the soldiers?
Patients with acute radiation syndrome (ARS) classically go through four clinical phases: prodrome, latency, manifest illness, and either recovery or death. During the prodromal phase, they usually present with nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and even loss of consciousness at higher doses. With neurological symptoms like dizziness, headache, or decreased level of consciousness, occurring within minutes to a few hours, with an absence of vomiting, and is almost always fatal, even with aggressive intensive care. Most people who die from radiation sickness are killed by infections or internal bleeding. Dying from ARS is a terrible way to die. The Chernobyl reactor disaster generated a multitude of radioactive isotopes of different elements from the reactor that had spread across the ground. Low level radioactive contamination can be blocked by clothing and even the human skin. Inhaling or ingesting the radioactive contamination will acutely affect the internal organs which has no protection against the low level radiation emitted by the contamination and will damage organs and internal lining and cause bleeding.
Would be interesting to find out to the degree of sickness & how many soldiers, and if Russian Govt will even treat them.
Cool. Let’s hope they all tried out the trenches.
At high doses, you literally have no more DNA. Just imagine that. knowing that no cell in your body can be replaced. no healing even a scratch, and should that scratch become infected, you are in a race between being eaten by staph bacteria and death from radiation.
No deseen una muerte tan horrible a nadie, por más enemigo ( y estúpido) que sea
Getting murdered by the invasion force of that criminal, Putin, is a terrible way to die too. I know whose wellbeing I care about more.
It’s like the soldiers they sent there have no idea what history is. Chernobyl was a pretty big deal. How can you not know what you’re digging up??
Well they don't receive that 'unpleasant' aspect of Soviet history , do they?
@@tominnis8353 I don't believe they receive any valuable education. It's evident that they have been kept extremely ignorant of so many things and on so many levels. So sad to spend your life in that state of mind. Oh, and then there is the state brainwashing, imprisonment for 15 years if you voice your opinion. But I really draw the line at not having a 🚽 in that frigidness. Can you imagine having to steal a used toilet out of a Ukrainian home and thinking you can drag that porcelin throne around and make it home to Eastern Russia with it? Mental giants with big dreams. Sad!
Somehow, I suspect that anyone who is still a russian resident is not the brightest..... but they also may have been young guys with no option but to do as ordered.
@D. W. People like me? Awww. You would be so wrong. I did plenty of research about radiation, and nuclear plants. I knew the Chernobyl area is very contaminated. The Red Forrest would never be my choice for a digging party but you are welcome all you want. I would not be stupid enough to be anywhere near it, but I'm sure you'll schedule your vacay to go see if you could wander around and spot a deformed wild animal to take a selfie with. While your at it don't forget to stop by Japan for seafood dinner! Enjoy D.W. and long life.
@D. W. Well your reply came to me so I mistakenly thought you were trying to insult my intelligence. I apologize for insulting yours. I guess RUclips thought they were funny. Again sorry D.W. have a nice evening.
Took the facility without much of a fight? Do you really think our memories are that short? Who else remembers when the firefight happened that night and the fire… Hello there was definitely a fight and it sucked.. Please don’t downplay what really happened there.
So all those reporters went into a radioactive area and came out unaffected?
This lack of basic nuclear safety knowledge makes me feel pretty safe in the face of putin's threats. I wouldn't be surprised if his nukes detonated as they tried to launch.
I agree. He will "accidentally" take out his own people. Judging by his actions he hates the russian people as much as he hates the Ukrainians....
Putin will press the button to launch his nukes and the song "boogie nights" will start playing instead.
Nuclear weapons need a stringent schedule of servicing and repair. They can't be stacked up in a warehouse and left for 40 years like the old Soviet tanks, artillery and rifles.
I guess you don't know about the radiation from the american nuclear weapons testing and also all of the nuclear waste that you guys have. According to chemical and engineering's article, you guys have 212 million litres of liquid nuclear waste and more than 90000 metric tons of solid nuclear waste.
@@kiyoponnn uh, what? I mean yeah, _obviously_ the US also has nuclear waste but like… my point is what military organization sends their guys into a known hazardous area without properly briefing them on safety measures?
And that Ukrainian soldier saying "thank god they are not the smartest" really make sense now
What about Donbass being bombed by Ukrainian Nazi "Azov", "Aidar" for 8 years?Does your country care about it?Did you watch "Donbass" 2016 by Anne Laure, Oliver Stone "Ukraine on fire"?Did u watch Patrick Lancaster's or Graham Phillips' videos from Donbass?Do u know that there's a monument for Stepan Bandera(nazist) in Lviv, Ukraine?Do u know what Alley of Angels in Donbass is?
Quite honestly, I do believe all the sensible russians have used the past 30 years as an opportunity to get the heck out of there. What's left in russia seems to be the dregs of society.
@@Chahlie I’m interested in what you’ll be saying if you saw the video I’ve seen, where Ukrainian nationalists were executing tied captive Russian soldiers.
@@VI-gy4kz Well you should know better not to trust anything out of Russia. Your sources are the same false flag operations used by Putin to justify this invasion.
@@mikirodriguez4906 false flag operations is a western thing. You don’t understand the relationship between Russians and Ukrainians, it’s like fighting your own family. Many Russians have relatives and friends there, we can’t stand aside when some western terrorist dogs are just ripping the country from the inside under state protection. If Putin will stop the operation before Ukraine will be completely free of this disease, I won’t be supporting that decision. We are already there, the damage is already done, so, there’s no turning back IMO. Americans like to talk about the cost of freedom, well, this is it.
The fact they did this is hugely telling isn't it.... Very useful information to know they are THAT detached from reality...
I remember Chernobly blew I was a senior in high school. The the US had Rhode Island meltdown. Nuclear is nothing too mess with.
Russia (who was in control of Chernobyl at the time) didn't even tell the World that the event took place.
It was the Soviet Union, at the time. But, you're right, they did try to hide it. Even from their own citizens. They let people in Pripyat just wander around, like normal, like it was any other day. Horrible.
Russia said a goodwill gesture. Also means “fled”. Ukrainians bless you for the strength you have shown. The victory for you will be a victory for all of humanity.
What about Donbass being bombed by Ukrainian Nazi "Azov", "Aidar" for 8 years?Does your country care about it?Did you watch "Donbass" 2016 by Anne Laure, Oliver Stone "Ukraine on fire"?Did u watch Patrick Lancaster's or Graham Phillips' videos from Donbass?Do u know that there's a monument for Stepan Bandera(nazist) in Lviv, Ukraine?Do u know what Alley of Angels in Donbass is?
Ukraine is taking the pounding for the sake of the global community. They strip Putin's bare for the world to see who he is. They are doing European a big favour. Only now EU cannot act in denial of a fire raging in their backyard.
hope the Russians win, so nato and European countries than their lessons. Not they will.
Russian soldiers: Digs entrenchments around Chernobyl
Radiation: *It's free real estate*

even the forest is fighting with russians
Well, the Ents dealt with Saruman's orcs...
I mean, I'd say the Russians were fighting the Russians, and they were just intentionally hanging out in parts of the map with negative status buffs and persistent damage, but that's a reasonable take as well.
Thank You Very Much , my gratitude
Nuclear safety is not the only concept russians are lacking. Others include humanity, truth, justice, peace, freedom.
As a biosafety specialist, I can ensure you that they have no clue in chemical or biological safety either.
The legacy of Soviet "scientific" Atheistic Socialism and Totalitarianism will take time to unlearn.
@@teasichinava Why educate cannon fodder. Could be experimenting to see how long troops survive nuclear contamination. Prelude to using tactical nukes in Ukraine. Sounds paranoid but who knows anymore. 🤔
Wow.
Did not hear about anything radioactive stolen or missing..did I miss something here.?
This is very troubling to me... having watched many documentaries about this disaster. I was born in 1986 so Chernobyl is something that has stuck with me when I got older and learned what happened there.
To see Russia (The Soviet Union) making the same mistakes is very worrying.
@NBA No me gusta.
Russia =\= Soviet Union
@@Dollius Russia is doing it's damnedest to restore the Soviet union. That's the whole point of this war. So, yes. In this case Russia = Soviet union
@@nickstein3129 don't confuse yourself. The USSR was powerful.
Russia =/= USSR
@@-8_8- Your right. Here, let me fix it.
Russia = Nazi Germany
Putin = Adolf
There ya go.
Between this and Bucha, Russia does not deserve diplomacy whatsoever anymore. It's time to take them out, in my opinion.
Someone forgot to tell Russia the radiation level is still unsafe.
Price and McMallen must be there
Why did they even conquer Chernobyl to begin with? Who the hell would deem it strategically sound to invade a radioactive ghost town?
Maybe we have not yet discovered what plans Putin had for it... I am so afraid there is still some type f bomb to be discovered there that he had planted.
An easy 'victory' in the eyes of the Russian government. Probably not heavily defended because you'd think no one would be that stupid to occupy and disturb radioactive soil.
Well it’s a good way to prevent other country’s from getting involved since Chernobyl is a major treat to Europe, but it would also be a great treat for russia
Well, as they pointed out in the video it has easy access into Belarus where they came in from, and Kyiv is just south down the road.
It's close to Belarus's border and, let's be real, no one was going to attack it. Had they actually used basic safety practices, it wouldn't have been a bad place to be. But they didn't.
What is disconcerting is that the Russians left with the staff etc they kept hostage, and reports from Russia mentioned admitting soldiers for radiation sickness begging the question where are the rest of the hostages? The way things are going they may be reunited with family in Russia or in a ditch somewhere between Chernobyl and the Hospital they were admitted.
@brucks brugle thousands reportedly taken from Mariupol and shipped to Russia as well.
Reactor 4 hasn’t been running since the explosion. I believe they still use the rest of the plant to provide power still tho.
we had to go through a treacherous journey Inside of our air conditioned vehicle 😂
11-12 μSv/h is not really that bad in itself. BUT if one digs in the dirt, breath in the dust sleep with the dust and dirt all around then it can start to be a big problem.
They lived there for weeks. There are reports that some have already died. But since they moved to Belarus, no real evidence is available, of course.
Thank You Very Much , my gratitude !
Oh it's bad in sure it was way worse when they dug the trenches like fools then they probably ran out of food decided to go raid the plant then they probably turned to killing any animals they came across to eat them yum lol
You are correct. It would be interesting to know how high the radiation levels are in the trenches they were digging.
They even burned the wood at fireplaces. Probalby sitting in the smoke and enjoying the heat.
It is not suprising that not all of them knew. But if of the whole unit only one guy would have known, they would have never done this. What this means is 100% of all the soldiers were totally clueless. That's a shocking statement for the russian education system.
Remember this is "one of the top 2 most powerful and advanced military powers" but someone in command said (and no one disagreed) "big radioactive place go boom boom, no one live here anymore because the radioactivity can be deadly?! Let's dig into the radioactive soil and post up here!"
Yet another example of the insanity of this conflict and the people causing it.
Chernobyl reactors still give power to Ukraine except reactor 4
@@pyro7358 Incorrect. On December the 15th, 2000, the last reactor was shut off.
Do people here understand that radiation lessens over time? The radiation in the soil is nowhere near enough to cause any major ailment, maybe at worst soldiers threw up or have like a .1 higher risk of cancer. The nuclear activists their great allies oil, gas, and coal companies have managed to convince everyone that anything nuclear is incredibly dangerous and will kill us all, the result of this is climate change, cancer, and war over these fossil fuels.
@@oscaralexander2416 It is the fallout/ radioactive dust that they disturbed and therefor likely inhaled. If you think inhaling fallout will only make you "throw up", you might have acute radiation syndrome affecting your brain.
This is so sad, sickening and no humanity left in n this country. I feel so sad for the people there who have been used and abused, no hope no light at the end of the tunnel.
