This Wednesday Russia unleashed a war and attacked Ukraine, alerting the whole world to this conflict between the two European countries. One of the things that the Russian country intends to take is the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, as has been denounced by the Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski, who has stated: “The Russian occupation forces are trying to capture the plant.”
