The thirty-second day of the heroic opposition of the Ukrainian people to the Russian military invasion is underway.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy in the temporarily occupied territories continues to violate the requirements of International Humanitarian Law, resorts to kidnapping and intimidation of local residents, and holds Ukrainian civilians hostage.

In connection with the violation by the units of the Defense Forces of the logistics of the Russian occupiers, in the settlements of Ivankiv and Oran, the occupiers ask the population for food, they do not behave aggressively, the facts of looting have not been recorded.

The continuation of the militarization by the Russian occupation forces of the exclusion zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is noted. This seriously increases the risk of damage to the insulation structures built over the fourth power unit of the station after the explosion in 1986.. Such damage will inevitably lead to a significant amount of radioactive dust entering the atmosphere and infecting not only Ukraine, but also other European countries.. Russian occupation troops ignore threats and continue to transport and store a significant amount of ammunition in the immediate vicinity of the nuclear power plant.

Dozens of tons of rocket projectiles, shells for cannon artillery, mortar ammunition are daily transported by units of the Eastern Military District of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the logistics base deployed in the Narovlyansky district of the Gomel region of the Republic of Belarus. The transport corridor of the invaders passes through the city of Pripyat and a few hundred meters from the isolation structures of the nuclear power plant. Further storage of ammunition is carried out in the city of Chernobyl, which is located at a short distance from the nuclear power plant.

In the city of Chernobyl, the occupiers set up a temporary command post for the group of troops of the Eastern Military District, as well as a command post for the 38th separate motorized rifle brigade.

According to available information, the Russian occupation forces are increasingly using old and substandard ammunition. So the 165th artillery brigade from Belogorsk, Amur Region, which is part of the group, received permission to use the specified ammunition.. This increases the risk of detonation even during loading and transport.. The facts of such self-detonation of ammunition in Russian military depots and arsenals are well known and occur regularly..
