Ukraine’s nuclear agency said on Friday that it was reporting an increase in radiation levels at the site of the defunct Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
The Russians took Chernobyl on Thursday (24): Ukrainian authorities confirmed that Russian forces had passed the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster.
The White House has condemned Russia for “credible reports” that civilian workers at the Chernobyl plant in northern Ukraine were taken hostage.
“We are outraged by credible reports that Russian soldiers are holding employees at the Chernobyl facility hostage,” said White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
“This illegal and dangerous hostage taking, which could undermine routine civil service efforts needed to maintain and protect nuclear waste facilities, is obviously incredibly alarming and very concerning. We condemn him and ask for his release.”
