The Coming Environmental Catastrophe

In the Ukraine-Russian war a new threat came into play - radioactive Chernobyl. This highly contaminated exclusion zone is a new target for the Russian military as their base and connection to Kyiv. The environmentalists are petrified of the consequences of this occurring. As for now, the radiation readings are rising because of the stirred up dust caused by tanks.  

I thought it could not be any worse than it has already been, but it is. It’s now becoming more and more apparent that the Russian President doesn’t care about anything. In 1986 when the Chernobyl disaster happened some many lives were sacrificed for our survival and better future. And for what? The zone is still dangerous, and it’s the threat for the entire continent and the future of our planet within the still visible issue of climate change. Nobody in the world should think that they have a right to do such a thing and to put humanity in jeopardy only to win a useless war.

    Far from trying to defend Putin, the decision to take Chernobyl was apparently a scare tactic: people hear the name, get terrified, share their panic and all this works to Putin's advantage.
