The activity of the occupiers in the exclusion zone threatens to damage the insulation structures of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant
The occupiers are deliberately endangering the whole Europe
What happened. It has become known that the increase in the military presence of racist troops in the exclusion zone and near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant threatens to damage the insulation structures built over the fourth power unit of the station after the 1986 accident.
The sources. This was discussed on the official Facebook page of the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova
Details. According to the report, this will inevitably lead to the release of significant amounts of radioactive dust and contamination of Ukraine and European countries.
Ignoring the strict safety rules at the nuclear facility, the occupiers are transporting and storing a significant amount of ammunition in the immediate vicinity of the nuclear power plant. The occupiers transport dozens of tons of rockets, artillery shells and mortar ammunition every day.
The transport corridor of the invaders passes through the city of Pripyat and a few hundred meters from the isolation facilities of the nuclear power plant. Further storage of ammunition is carried out in the city of Chernobyl, next to the city of Pripyat, which is also located a short distance from the nuclear power plant.
There is a high risk of detonation of ammunition during loading and transportation. Using nuclear power plants as a shelter and a means of influencing the course of the war, Russian troops are deliberately endangering the whole Europe.
Such actions are a direct violation of the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Hostile Use of Means of Environmental Impact and Art. 56 of the 1977 Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions and Other Acts Regulating International Obligations in the Nuclear Sphere.
"I urge international partners and the IAEA to take all possible measures without delay to withdraw the Russian Federation's troops from the Chernobyl territory and take Ukraine and other nuclear facilities under its protection," Denisova said.
