Dozens of Russian troops ‘fall ill with radiation poisoning’ at Chernobyl

It's weird 10-15 years ago, I would have accepted this as probably true, now however seems like propaganda. Or are US Intelligence capabilities so sure they are baffling Putin? Now which sounds more logical? Who knows? is it dangerous is it not? is it somewhere between, and how come such varying degrees of information on this.

Since 2011, when the exclusion zone was deemed safe to visit by site managers, growing numbers of tourists have also flocked to visit the area. While parts of the zone remain dangerously radioactive, visiting is relatively safe as long as tourists are led by experienced guides, according to Responsible Travel. The zone itself is a little over two hours drive from Kiev. Visits take one day, starting and ending with passages through official checkpoints to measure exposure to radiation, according to the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management.

Dozens of Russian troops ‘fall ill with radiation poisoning’ at Chernobyl

Russian troops withdrawn from the Chernobyl nuclear power site are being rushed across the border to a special medical facility in Belarus with ‘acute radiation sickness’, it has been claimed.

However, an employee at the Ukrainian state agency overseeing the exclusion zone said ‘irradiated’ Russian soldiers were being whisked by the bus load to a clinic in Gomel for treatment.

Yaroslav Yemelianenko wrote on Facebook: ‘Another batch of Russian irradiated terrorists who seized the Chernobyl zone was brought to the Belarusian Radiation Medicine Center in Gomel today.

then there is this....

Well tourists are there for not even a full day, being monitored for radiation exposure.

How long have the soldiers been there?

I'm also seeing the soldiers were digging trenches (no clue how true that is).

I'm also seeing they were inside the red forest, which isn't somewhere tourists are allowed. It's considered highly contaminated still. So, it doesn't seem comparable.

Who knows what’s true and what’s not. But if true…well….that’s FUNNY.

I know right, that's kind of my point is Russia's military so inept, they send troops into areas without Geiger counters or precautions? On top of proper gear?

I find it difficult to believe the only places they could safely pull back are chocked full of radiation and it is sending troops home because of it.

More likely a squad got lost in a heavily radiated area.

If true, then I guess that means the soldiers didn't follow the same rules/guidelines given to tourists. I'm sure they could have easily found that info online.

Shades of the original Chernobyl disaster.

I thought the Ukrainians controlled Chernobyl .

You do know people who live in the exclusion zone? it's not so cut and dried. Lol not saying they won't have issues but it sounds like Ukraine perhaps embellishing the story a bit.

The area around Chernobyl has been reclaimed by nature and vegetation has slowly enveloped roads, buildings and vehicles. Wolves, lynx and wild boar live without fear of man in the forest. There is also the human side to Chernobyl, in the now elderly people that chose to defy the original Soviet government evacuation order and return to their homes, and who are welcoming to curious visitors interested to hear their stories.

Personally, I think almost everything we're hearing about the war/Russia/Putin is propaganda. >90%.
If the Russians were so inept, why is Zelynski negotiating a ceasefire that includes not joining NATO, and formally giving up Crimea and the Donbass?

a reply to: putnam6

Yes, it seems like propaganda, I read the article, I am sure if tourist are allowed to visit certain areas, I guess is safe for everybody else.

Unless this soldiers wandered into the restricted areas I do not see why they are getting sick.

a reply to: putnam6

I don't know what to think. But, I saw a news story that showed a satellite picture of a convoy of trucks and tanks they said was going through the Red Forest kicking up a huge dust cloud, that they said was radioactive.

How do we know it's not the covid vaccine causing them to fall ill?

If they were in the restricted area digging trenches than it would not surprise me if they got sick.

Ummm…it is refreshing to see persons who formerly claimed they believed the MSM is…”fake news”…and…”Russia…Russia…Russia”…out themselves as true believers in western propaganda…

It’s ever so funny to watch chameleons do their chameleon thing…

…I salute their…ahem…consistency…

Everybody learns at their own pace, hell I need a refresher course from time to time .

Inside every person, hooked/brainwashed on the MSM is just waiting for the right person and the right approach to make their lightbulb of understanding go off.

Said it before my 30-year-old self would have laughed his ass off at some of the things my 55-year-old self researches now.

Tanks, lav's, soldiers, etc all kicking up radioactive dust... it was bound to happen. Just wait till there is a forest fire or something, all that smoke going right over Moscow.

All the reporting on Ukraine has been so contradictory that you can't believe anything. Maybe that's the whole point; to keep people totally confused.

It's looking more and more like the whole Ukrainian situation is fulfilling one thing; the WEF goal of one world government by 2030. Financial systems world wide are being destroyed by Covid and the Ukraine situation, which is needed for the Great Reset.

Our street gangs could do a better job than the Russian soldiers are reported to be doing. I just can't buy the MSM's soup du jour on the Ukrainian situation.
