Putin's men were struck down with radiation sickness after they camped in a forest near Chernobyl's nuclear disaster amid their infiltration of Ukraine last year.
Ukrainians living in Chernobyl have told of how they warned their Russian enemies of the dangers despite last year's invasion, with soldiers even fishing in the nuclear reactor's cooling chamber.
The Russian soldiers spent around a fortnight in the vicinity of the radioactive nuclear reactor in March last year, which 37 years ago exploded and spilled reactor core into the environment.
Ukrainians have told how the Russian men crossed from Belarus and dug defensive positions in the nearby 'Red Forest', named after the colour the trees turned after the nuclear disaster.
Some suggested that the Russians chose the area as they knew they would not come under attack from Ukrainian shelling.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Oksana Pyshna, 30, an official responsible for the exclusion zone, said 'don't try to find logic' regarding the upheaval of radioactive soil by Putin's men in Chernobyl's nearby forest.
Russian soldiers are said to have spent two weeks with six mile vicinity of the radioactive reactor No 4, where they slept, ate, and drank.
'It's the most dangerous territory in the special zone, because under the ground we have nuclear waste.'
Some suggested that Russian troops made their base there as they knew Ukrainian forces would not attack the area as they knew the catastophic dangers around the nuclear plant.
The Russians are also said to have fished in the reactor's cooling chamber, catching the catfish that swim in the destroyed nuclear base.
But others were struck down with radiation sickness from simply being in the area, walking around, and kicking up the dust.................................................................... more https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12030417/Invading-Russian-troops-radiation-sickness-camped-Chernobyl-forest.html
