Solar power is now flowing here in Chornobyl. With support from Lithuania and Japan, @UNDP helped deliver a new solar plant powering critical infrastructure at the site, reducing costs and dependence on external supply. International solidarity delivering greater resilience. https://t.co/y0KV1FOObo #SolarPower #Chornobyl #InternationalSolidarity #UA #LT #JP
Chornobyl showed us 40 years ago what happens when nuclear safety fails. We should not need another lesson. Radiation does not stop at borders. Nuclear sites must never become targets of war. https://t.co/TwzoUi2CpY #Chernobyl #NuclearSafety #PeaceNotWar #UA
Changes in wildlife activity patterns in response to war in Ukraine, specifically the Russian occupation of the Chornobyl exclusion zone. Clear effects of conflict on mammals in the region, including reduced activity, especially at night https://t.co/lXcseG33QU #Wildlife #UkraineWar #Chornobyl #UA #RU
History can be destroyed, unfortunately. But the truth cannot! When Russia struck the National Chornobyl Museum in Kyiv on 24 May this year, it did not target just another building. It targeted one of Ukraine's most important places of memory. A museum that preserves the truth https://t.co/dWJ2fjqkun #Chornobyl #Ukraine #MemoryMatters #UA #RU
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned a recent Russian drone strike on a spent nuclear fuel storage facility near Chornobyl as a vile attack ahead of discussions with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on European support for Ukraine. #UkraineWar #Chornobyl #Zelensky
Devo dire che la decisione di Buttafuoco di riammettere la Russia nel “giardino di pace” de @la_Biennale per favorire il dialogo ha portato risultati a dir poco straordinari. Nell’ultimo massiccio attacco su Kyiv, sono stati pesantemente danneggiati il Museo Nazionale "Chornobyl", ospitato in un edificio storico ed importante monumento architettonico, il Museo Nazionale d'Arte dell'Ucraina (NAMU), una delle principali e più antiche istituzioni museali del Paese, la Riserva Storico-Architettonica dell'Antica Kyiv, il grande complesso che tutela il nucleo storico e monumentale della città, l’Istituto di Letteratura "Taras Shevchenko", il più importante centro accademico ucraino per gli studi letterari, legato all'Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze, il Teatro dell'Opera Maly, il "Palazzo d'Ottobre" (Centro Internazionale per la Cultura e le Arti). E poi ancora sono stati colpiti la Casa dei Contratti (Kontraktova Dom), la storica Stazione Postale, la Chiesa della Natività, oltre al locale Museo di Piazza Poshtova. L'impatto ha inoltre devastato la facciata, l'ingresso principale e le vetrate del complesso della Casa Ucraina. Se l’obiettivo del presidente, quello che “teme più l’Occidente che la Russia”, era quello di utilizzare una delle più importanti rassegne del mondo di arte e cultura per riabilitare un regime assassino che devasta l’arte e la cultura, si può dire pienamente raggiunto. #Ucraina #Arte #Cultura
The staff at the shell-damaged Chornobyl Museum let me inside, and here’s what I saw there.
First the Kremlin caused the Chornobyl nuclear disaster, and 40 years it bombed a museum commemorating it. #Chornobyl #Kremlin #NuclearDisaster #UA
