Russian soldiers have entered the area surrounding Chernobyl and are trying to seize the former nuclear power plant, the president of Ukraine has said.
Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed Ukrainian troops were fighting with the Russian army around the zone, after invading forces arrived from the direction of Belarus.
“Russian occupation forces are trying to seize the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Our defenders are giving their lives so that the tragedy of 1986 will not be repeated,” Mr Zelensky said, referring to the explosion of a nuclear reactor which led to radioactive waste spreading across the continent 36 years ago.
“This is a declaration of war against the whole of Europe,” the president added.
The 1986 Chernobyl disaster is the worst nuclear accident in history. The reactor, which 80 miles north of Ukranian capital Kiev, has since been covered by a protective shelter to prevent radiation leak and the entire plant has been decommissioned.
Fighting in the region comes hours after Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
>Any idea why Russia would want Chernobyl that bad? >I am missing something here.
Probably preventing against false flags....some 18 year old Ukranian asshole firing an RPG at the sarcophagus covering the nuclear waste and blaming it on Russia would make for an incredible headline, wouldn't it.

Inb4 entire invasion is just Stalker 2 viral marketing campaign.
>+6k nukes >need some radioactive dust to threaten the world Even if you blow up Chernobyl it would do fuck all to anything. Some dust might fly in the air and spread so thin over the continent it wouldn't even be noticeable.

>Even if you blow up Chernobyl it would do fuck all to anything.
Russia is trying to prevent against false flags....the "muh Chernobyl" headline would be the end of Russia.
Eli Jenkins
Correct. Ukraine will resort to extremely dastardly deeds with the help of the CIA and friends in order to expand the conflict and pump the bags of the defence contractors.

Its not a wasteland, its a garden zone, lush with life. You should watch some vids from the area. The human nigger shit got overgrown and creepy looking, but thats just the way it is, nothing bad there now.

The anunaki treasure the Soviet's failed to controll was hidden under a "nuclear" power plant. THe actual explosion was the gods getting angry and trying to escape their 2000 year old prison left there by those before us, but the soviets wanted to do experiments with them (they were atheists) and now the russians are trying to do the same thing (they will fail, the anunaki are scheduled to come in 2033, that's when they were enclosed, when jesus ascended to heaven)
I thought higher of you faggots on this board. You're complete morons if you think they can do anything with that heap of shit. Worst case the forest around gets contaminated again. OH NO

You didn't see any Russian soldiers because there are none.
Why in all fuck would they want to go anywhere near Chernobyl? If anyone believes this bullshit, I have multiple bridges to sell you. The whole thing is pure Kabuki anyway, no doubt China is about to take Taiwan and this is just a distraction. Is Europe going to go into lockdown again because "muh Chernobyl radiation" from a mortar smashed some cement? Seriously, this is pure theatre and an extremely badly written narrative. Putin is on Team WEF just like all the other puppet leaders.

A strong anomaly was detected in the area, all factions are enroute searching for the powerful artifact. Caution is advised there are mutants and bandits everywhere.

>You grab the world by the balls if you threaten them with the literal apocalypse. Russia has enough nukes to glass the entire world millions of times over amigo.

Nukes are fake and gay

Those replies are dumb. The roads through the exclusion zone are the best way to get tanks and ground support equipment to Kiev quickly and without damage.
Russian soldiers are at Chernobyl because it is directly in the way to Kiev. Look at a map. Wouldn't be surprised if the Ukrainians retreated there thinking the Russians wouldn't follow
Luis Perez
they already seized it imbecile sage
Dominic Cooper
>Nukes are fake and gay Not this shit again...
Jonathan Cruz
>personnel Wtf they had Ukrainian scientists working there?
Thomas Parker
I needed to hear that. Thanks, Carlos.
Xavier Wood
Prove they actually have those nukes and they're functional
Thomas Bailey
No one is going to want bomb a base that's stationed there Also this
Evan Parker
you're selling bridges? i'll take three.
