These calls for compromise with the Kremlin are symptomatic of a far broader perception problem. Many Europeans are still reluctant to acknowledge Russia’s descent into full-blown fascism under Vladimir Putin, despite similarities with Nazi Germany that are…

Storage of Russian ammunition threatens Chernobyl NPP, – General Staff

Russian occupation forces continue to militarize the exclusion zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

The occupiers ignore the threats and reservations and continue to transport and store significant quantities of munitions in the area close to the nuclear plant.
