The seizure of the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant by Russian forces has been described “as very, very dangerous” because of the presence of nuclear waste on the site.

The founder and CEO of Chernobyl Children International, Adi Roche, described the move by the Russians as “a scenario that is my worst nightmare which I would not want to imagine coming to pass”.
