Video has emerged which appears to show military vehicles at the site of the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl. It was among the most worrying developments on an already shocking day, as Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukrainian prime minister Denys Shmyhal announced that Russian forces took control over the site after a fierce battle with Ukrainian national guards. "All infrastructure of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant are controlled by Russian military forces," he said. Radioactivity is still leaking from the Chernobyl nuclear plant, where history’s worst nuclear disaster took place 36 years ago.
