Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Ukrainian and Russian wars

Where is the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and why did Russia occupy the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the first place and send heavy troops to guard it?

The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is of course in Ukraine, but it is not far from Belarus, just an hour or two away.

At 1:23 a.m. on April 26, 1986, a serious accident occurred in Unit 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and the information about the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was overwhelming and no longer stated.

What many people don't know is that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant did not close in 1986, but actually operated until November 2000.

1. In April 1986, a serious accident occurred in Unit 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and the former Soviet Union sent someone to build a huge cement coffin to completely enclose Unit 4.
2. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, independent Ukraine was weak and economically difficult to completely shut down the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and after evaluation, a 300-meter-long cement wall was built in Unit 4 and other units, and other units continued to operate.
3. In 1991, the year of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant Unit 2 sudden fire alarm, in view of the lessons of 5 years ago, scared Ukraine into a cold sweat, after inspection and assessment, repair unit 2 is too difficult, the need to invest too much, Ukraine announced the permanent closure of unit 2.
4. In 1994, Ukraine acceded to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as a non-nuclear State, and in 1996, under the agreement of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Ukraine ceased operation of Unit 1 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
5. In November 2000, Kuchma, then president of Ukraine, announced the closure of Unit 3 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which was completely abandoned.

It should be known that when the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident occurred, the most affected was Belarus, and 2/3 of the country's land area was seriously affected, so the war between Russia and Ukraine, Belarus is most concerned about whether the Chernobyl nuclear power plant can be safely guaranteed.

From Belarus to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, it can be said that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is the only way to go.

If ukraine's army, or the daredevils, brave the world, blow up the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, it will be unbearable for both Russia's hardcore brother Belarus and Russia itself.

The pressure of public opinion alone is enough to make Russia uncomfortable.

Neither Russia nor Ukraine dared to take the Chernobyl nuclear power plant lightly, so there will be a scene of two warring parties carefully guarding together.

Once the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is destroyed by extremists, not only the warring sides are worried, but even the European countries that are not afraid of the big things.

Second, civil nuclear power is a war forbidden area

In Additional Protocol I to Part IV of the Geneva Conventions, it is stipulated that works or installations containing dangerous forces, such as and nuclear power stations, shall not be the object of attack even if such objects are military targets.

Not to mention that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is not a military target, even if it is a military target, it is protected under the Geneva Conventions.

If the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is attacked, it is equivalent to nuclear war!

Then if it is attacked by a third-party force, if the perpetrator cannot be found in a short period of time, Russia will inevitably be the first to become a suspect, yellow mud and rotten crotch, reasonable and unclear.

Nato, a Western country, must be the first to put this hat on Russia's head.

PS: The history of attacks on opposing nuclear facilities in the world:

Israel, which launched Operation Jiaojian in 1981, destroyed Iraq's nuclear reactors, mainly because Israel learned that in late June 1981, the reactors would be refueled, and dared to do so before they were fed.

After Russia's occupation of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the International Atomic Energy Agency tested the radiation measurements of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant all the time, and on February 25, it suddenly detected an increase in the value, and after investigation, the Ukrainian regulator said that the increase in the radiation value may be due to heavy military vehicles raising dust contaminated with radioactive material, stirring up the soil contaminated by the 1986 accident.
