    Russian soldiers might pass away within a year after taking radioactive compounds from Chernobyl’s labs, Ukrainian authorities have actually stated.

    Putin’s unlucky soldiers inhabited the decommissioned power plant for more than a month, mistakenly digging trenches in the extremely radioactive Red Forest prior to their retreat.

    Dozens of soldiers apparently got ‘acute radiation sickness’ after interrupting the polluted soil, however it’s now emerged there might be more seriously ill Russians heading house.

    Two lab were discovered raided over the weekend, with 133 extremely radioactive compounds missing out on and presumed taken.

    ‘Even a small part of this activity is deadly if handled unprofessionally,’ Ukraine’s state company for Managing the Exclusion Zone stated.

    Energy minister German Gulashchenko stated the attacking forces exposed themselves to a ‘shocking’ quantity of nuclear radiation.

    Some of the soldiers who can be found in direct contact with the hazardous compounds might have less than a year to live, he cautioned.

    ‘They dug bare soil contaminated with radiation, collected radioactive sand in bags for fortification, breathed this dust,’ Gulashchenko stated after going to the Exclusion Zone.

    As the healing operation continues in Chernobyl, some authorities fear the Russian military left a labyrinth of landmines as they pulled back.

    Graffiti indications checking out ‘this passage is mined’ and ‘expect a surprise, look for a mine’ were left, according to video gathered by the Ukrainian Witness media group.

    It implies there is still an increased threat for employees due to radiation and the capacity for surges brought on by the planted landmines.

    Pictures from within Chernobyl’s notorious Exclusion Zone reveal a scene a destruction, with bombed bridges and deserted tanks in the spooky wasteland.
