This absolutely sums up how mindless the Russian invasion of Ukraine is. Not withstanding all the countless casualties and victims displaced, last night a Russian drone with a high-explosive warhead hit the protective confinement shell of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Kyiv region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was quick to condemn the act seen as deliberate by the Russians to try to expose the atmosphere to radiation. However, radiation levels have not increased, Zelensky and the UN atomic agency said.
The drone strike damaged the structure and started a fire – which has been put out.
