Meanwhile, radiation levels around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant - the largest in Europe - and which was seized by Russian forces last week, are said to be normal.

Repairs are being carried out on a block damaged by fighting, Petro Kotin, the head of state nuclear firm Energoatom, said.

the biggest problem from Chernobyl was radioactive dust. Providing that stays sealed, there will be little to no exposure

The other nuclear plant is much more modern and has many more safety features. The biggest one being that there is no dust in the process, so even if there were a leak, it wouldnt disperse radiation the way Chernobyl did in the 80's.


Just as an aside, if nukes were fired off, once you get outside the blast zone, the biggest issue is radioactive dust and that can be maximised if it an in air explosion rather than a ground explosion

Do you have a link to that statement? I can't find it. According to the website this is the latest.

No it isnt its -4 F

Do you have any information on them?

Why is the lady in the senate video I posted worried that Russia will get their hands on them?

What is in them?

Who worked in them?

The labs at issue are part of a network of facilities with links to the Biological Threat Reduction Program, an element of a US government effort that began in the 1990s to reduce the threat of the former Soviet Union’s weapons of mass destruction programs, including in countries like Ukraine that had once been a part of the communist country. The Soviet Union maintained a massive bioweapons program and part of the role of the US-linked labs is to take custody over left-over supplies, as is the case with a central reference laboratory in Kazakhstan. Disease surveillance and public health have since become the major focus of labs in the network

Yes The Russian Missiles
Are Fired in all directions in the South.

USA has now said it has not agreed to supply Poland
with new F-16 jets

So they supply Ukraine with MiG jets



[The Pentagon has dismissed Poland’s plan to
hand the US its MiG-29 fighter jets
to boost Ukraine’s fight against Russia,
as Moscow officials said they were
ready to provide humanitarian corridors
on Wednesday morning for people
fleeing Kyiv and four other cities.

Washington appeared surprised by
the announcement by Polish foreign minister, Zbigniew Rau,
who said on Tuesday that his government
was “ready to deploy – immediately and
free of charge – all their MiG-29 jets to the Ramstein
airbase and place them at the disposal of the
government of the United States of America.”

The Pentagon appeared to reject
the proposal, saying it was not “tenable”.]

This has to be deliberate provocation surely...these are not accidental

Liz Truss, Foreign Secretary, Live in Washington DC

I want to know what happened to the British people who were refusing to leave before the invasion, I remember seeing quite a few people doing interviews on the news dismissing the UKs advice to leave.

According to Ukrainian officials...

Myself, I just cant see russia or putin bombing a children's ward..even if its nazi children..nobod would..


Apart from the fishy smelling as the days go by Ukrainian officials..certain things ain't adding up in my head..like the pictures of the bombed blocks of flats...themissile landed directly in the middle of the block, in all 3 cases I've seen..imo that's deliberate to cause least casualties and damage to property.

It all seems a bit staged to me.

Yes sad they refused to leave
some had good reason
their partner is born there
so not easy for both to get in.


Like all those people in Calais
are in the wrong place.
The UK will now not set up a pop up near there,
as the Criminal Smuggler gangs are there.

There is a place 70miles away
but you need an appointment.
So it's Paris UK Embassy team
helping some.

Most fleeing Ukrainians have fled to Hungary, and I'm sure they are rather right leaning if I'm not mistaken.

[Myself, I just cant see Russia or Putin bombing a children's ward.]


Sure they do not Aim at that
But these massive Russian Missiles hit loads of places
it should not.


It was verified by International news teams



This is a Russian Attacking Ukraine War.

I'm saying they may have, today.

Perhaps tomorrow I will think differently...

If I was alf I would be posting in a very interesting musical thread.. so no, as of yet I have not turned into Alf.

What if Putin's right?

What if all the combatant clothing generals we see, and all the fleeing to the extreme right wing led Hungary nation ties in with Putin's narrative.


Like I said, some things just ain't sitting right in my head atm, in regards to this.
