Russian soldiers who were in Chornobyl have a year to live at most — Minister of Energy of Ukraine

According to Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Galushchenko: all the soldiers, who have been to the Exclusion Zone, have received large doses of radiation, and their military equipment has also been contaminated.
“The Russian soldiers’ ignorance went as far off the scale as the dosimeters we used to check the background radiation in the places where the invaders were deployed. They dug into contaminated soil with their bare hands, put radioactive sand into bags for fortifications, and inhaled the dust. After a month of that kind of exposure, they have at most a year to live. Or rather, they won’t be living, but slowly dying of their illnesses. The Russians bring death to everyone: they kill Ukrainians with their bombs, and their people with radiation from the Chornobyl plant,” the Minister said.
