Russian Drone Strike Has Radiation Escaping from Chernobyl Shield

[PeterRS]

My guess is this was bound to happen. After their utter incompetence destroyed a Chernobyl reactor, the Russians pathetic attempt to build a sarcophagus over the zone had a declared lifespan of just 30 years. Several countries thereafter contributed to a new durable US$1.5 billion shield whch was placed in position in 2019. In February a Russian drone strike hit the shield. An inspection of the confinement structure by the International Atomic Energy Commission last week has now confirmed that the shield can no longer block radiation leaks and requires major repairs. Russia obviously should pay for these, but expecting Putin to come up with the cash is as likely as Mickey Mouse launching a nuclear missile.

Ukrainian pathetic attempt, dear, Ukrainian.

And due famous Ukrainian corruption, construction of shield took 30 years. And these 30 years radiation was leaking.

As usual British "highly likely". Since drone's attack in February 2025 till now left 10 months. And still no even single evidence what it was Russian drone.

The shelling of the Zaporozhie Nuclear Power Plant has been going on for the fourth year now. And for the fourth year, the West and Ukraine claim that Russia is doing the shelling. It's so logical, isn't it – to shoot at yourself?

Of course, it's the Russian devils who are doing the shooting; how could Ukrainian angels possibly shoot? It's impossible to even imagine such a thing.
