Ukrainians Mark 40th Anniversary of Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster
Ukrainians commemorated the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion in Slavutych, the city built to house those displaced by the 1986 disaster. Participants dressed in white hazmat suits placed candles and flowers at a memorial to victims. Local blogger Olga Shevchenko emphasized that the current war should not diminish the significance of remembering the worst nuclear disaster in civilian history.
