Last updated on: February 25, 2022 at 5:00 am By Jim Denison

Ukrainian authorities said yesterday that Russian forces had captured the abandoned Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the scene of a 1986 meltdown that sent a radioactive cloud over parts of Europe. A Ukrainian official warned that if artillery punctured the encasement of the failed reactor, “radioactive nuclear dust could cover the territory of Ukraine, Belarus, and the countries of the European Union.” In tragic ways, this warning is a metaphor for what is happening in Ukraine today. Rockets struck the capital... Read more
