CNN’s Fred Pleitgen visits the abandoned Russian military positions in Chernobyl where Russian soldiers went into the Red Forest, the most nuclear contaminated area on the planet, and brought back radioactive dust.
Ukrainians shocked by ‘crazy’ scene at Chernobyl after Russian pullout reveals radioactive contamination
Chernobyl, Ukraine (CNN)The sudden ear-piercing beep of a radiation meter fills the room as a Ukrainian soldier walks in. This is where Russian soldiers were living at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and radiation levels are now higher than normal.
There’s no visible presence of the source of the radioactive material in the room, but Ukrainian officials say it’s coming from small particles and dust that the soldiers brought into the building.
“They went to the Red Forest and brought radioactive material back with them on their shoes,” soldier Ihor Ugolkov explains. “Other places are fine, but radiation increased here, because they were living here.”
CNN was given exclusive access to the power plant for the first time since it came back into Ukrainian control.
Officials at the plant explain the levels inside the room used by Russian soldiers are only slightly above what the World Nuclear Association describes as naturally occurring radiation. One-time contact would not be dangerous but continuous exposure would pose a health hazard.
“They went everywhere, and they also took some radioactive dust on them [when they left],” Ugolkov adds.
It’s an example of what Ukrainian officials say was the lax and careless behavior of Russian soldiers while they were in control of the site of the 1986 nuclear disaster. The area around Chernobyl, namely the Red Forest, is still the most nuclear contaminated area on the planet, with most of the radioactive particles present on the soil.

They probably rook the workers with them as they had forced them to dig those positions. They didn't want them to speak about it and so took them. My guess is that they have contaminated the Ukrainian guards.
So much radiation…. let’s send our reporters there, right all Russians all bad, sounds like racism
They should blow up Chernobyl
Putin has cancer and wanted his troops to be blessed with the same.
Putin likes his nuclear weapon's seems he likes nuclear solders now as well!!!!
My father gave his health away there in Chernobyl, just evacuating people, and these dumbasses go and dig around there … There lives will be kinda shit from now on, and they do not even realize it.
Z
LETS GO BLYAT SUKAS !!!! RUSSIA 💪💪💪💥💥💥💥💥
Putin should visit the Red Forest. it is very clean. There are no microbes, not even enough to decompose leaves in the autumn…
It's like Bevis and Butthead took over the plant and tried to run it.
They make things up as they go Ukraine is by far the most corrupt country anywhere near Europe, they benefited from billions upon billions of investments from Russia don't you find it funny that they complain about Russia but they are still depending on the things the soviets built like the nuclear plants, dams, factories, roads,schools, etc,etc.. they are not democratic not like Europe or most of Latin America the US is not really a democracy they want you to think that but it is not the case they closed all alternative media and political opposition please read and learn and don't buy into the Nazii Nato propaganda long live the people of Ukraine long live the people of Russia long live all the people of good faith in the world Nato go back to your forts and stop killing inocent people.
No the brightest characters in the world are the Russians
So… that was a loss victory victory for Ukrainians and a victory loss loss for Russians. Win the advance of the invasions, lost the battle for Kiev/ retreat and losing again their lives after playing around in radioactive soil. And pu💩tin don’t care.
Russian self slavery/brainwashing is sad and disgusting. I saw sheep’s giving a better fight on the slaughter house.
Is there any hope FOR RUSSIANS ??? Please..WAKE UP.
We cannot build anymore nuclear power plants and must shut down the ones we have. Period. There is no excuse for these dastardly creations.
Sad part is there will be no tracking of the Russian "test" subjects.
For scientific purposes of course.
CNN, you need to call a suicide hotline. Not the type that helps prevent suicide, but one that encourages it and talks you through how to do it.
10 micro sieverts per hour (uSv/h) is not dangerous unless your in it everyday for a long period of time (months) this is why I never trust anything cnn says. He is right about it being above normal though (normal being 0.05-0.30 uSv/h) once you hit milli-sieverts (mSv, 1 mSv=1,000 uSv) then you need to worry. And if you see 1 sievert (1,000,000 uSv) RUN!! Btw when Chernobyl first happened it was 139 sievert (139,000,000 uSv, it takes 5 sievert for a fatal dose)
Great book…true story,title-"Cowboy Mafia "
Russian military your government does not care if you live or die so surrender
Ukraine will be able to see them at night Russian soldiers now glow in the dark

Russian intelligence is… frightening
"Radiation is physics- it works regardless of status or shoulder ranks"
Atleast the Russian Military has human glowing sticka now
So Russians just want a season 2 of the Chernobyl series?
