Reports Russians holding Chernobyl Exclusion Zone workers hostage

Spread The Viralist



As Russia continues to invade Ukraine, there are reports Russian forces have seized control of the Chernobyl New Safe Confinement where international workers continue to clean up and contain the world’s worst nuclear disaster. A 9-year, $2.3 billion international effort to contain the aging sarcophagus that surrounded the once exposed reactor core was completed just 3 years ago. International nuclear watch dog groups are concerned war in the region could once again cause radioactive material to become exposed.

  1. More than 7,000 people live and work around Chernobyl I hope they got out. I know there’s at least 100 elderly people that live there anyone over the age of 45 and up was allied to return to their homes I think a year after the disaster. Just a couple months ago I watched a youtuber visit some of these elderly people who wanted to come back to their homes to live next to the graves of their loved ones. I been wondering about these sweet people there’s a woman who’s 92 living with her son and another gentleman with no electric in his 80s so many elderly I been wondering if their okay since the Russians went back there 🤔😞

  2. This is exactly why Americans need to exercise their second amendment right to keep and bear arms. Could you imagine the government trying to pass out millions of guns to Americans, they wouldn't even have enough. Freedom to protect ourselves from foreign as well as domestic invaders is paramount. Think about this one when a liberal politician decides to try and take our gun rights away.

  3. Destroying the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant is a method Putin can use to force the Ukrainian people out of the Ukraine and have a mass exodus, in what would be perceived as a bloodless war, in disguise only.

  4. What better way to cause a distraction from the truckers convoy than to ask your buddy Putin for his help and let the collateral damage be what it may!Biden is enjoying this because it takes away the attention of his inability to run our country!

  5. Only an idiot president would release oil reserves when war is a possibility, the oil reserves aren’t to shore up prices at the pump, they’re to sustain a mechanized war machine. Depleting that reserve would be treasonous

  6. there is no fight! Ukrainians can not fight. They are paralyzed. Ukrainians are surrendering!
    NATO and US are sitting ducks!
    Taiwan, are you watching? This is what will happen to you when you rely on US and NATO.
    Ukrainians are just being used to confront Russia and China. Same in South China Sea, Taiwan is being used by US against China.
    All of these is related to US hegemonic ambition and to stall Russia and China’s rise.

  7. Leave it to Fox to lie about everything. Radiation is not leaking from Chernobyl because the two billion dollar containment dome was put over it two years ago.

  8. This is reckless, stupid and dangerous. But fine let them have Chernobyl. It's their problem now. If the soldiers die of radiation, then they die of radiation.

  9. You would think that they would want to stay away from Chernobyl. It's still a very dangerous place and they could make it much more dangerous by their activities.
