Russians stole more than $135 mln worth of equipment and irreplaceable software from Chornobyl nuclear laboratories

According to The Washington Post, Russian occupying forces stole 698 computers, 344 cars, 1,500 radiation dosimeters, irreplaceable software, and almost all fire extinguishers from the Chornobyl nuclear laboratories.

Chornobyl officials are counting the damage done during the month the Russians were there, in which nine of their colleagues were killed and five abducted.

The total cost of the loss is estimated at more than $135 million.
