„The thick dust raised by passing vehicles, and the radiation particles in it, may very well have entered the bodies of Russian occupiers through the lungs,“ the plant director said.
Russian troops who had occupied the nuclear power station at Chernobyl may have been exposed to „significant doses“ of radiation, Ukraine’s state energy company Energoatom said Friday. The company said it could not determine the degree of radiation exposure the troops may have had, but there were unconfirmed reports that some had been sickened. „The invaders did not dig anything on the territory of the plant itself, but the thick dust raised by equipment in transit, and the radiation particles in it, may very well have entered the bodies of Russian occupiers through the lungs,“ Valerіy Seyda, director of the nuclear power plant, said in a statement. „Furthermore, no one knows what the invaders were doing in the Red Forest, and it is also possible that they could have received significant doses of radiation when they dug trenches in this forest,“ Energoatom said.
