Russian forces left piles of excrement in every office of the Chernobyl nuclear plant before they retreated, Ukrainian workers say

• Russian forces began withdrawing from Chernobyl in March.

• Human feces are among the things Ukrainian workers are discovering after leaving.

• The deputy director of the Chernobyl Eco center said that the poop was the icing on the cake.

The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that Russian forces destroyed the Chernobyl nuclear plant and left behind mounds of defecation.

Hundreds of Ukrainian workers were held captive by the Russians. Workers are going to clean up the site after being affected by significant doses of radiation.

The deputy director of the Chernobyl Ecocenter told The Journal that they have found spray-painted conference rooms and smashed computer screens.

The icing on the cake was the poop.

On the first day of the war, Chernobyl was taken over for a period of five weeks.

The first sign of radiation illness was when soldiers panicked after disturbing the soil. The troops were forced to leave the region due to the panic.

Julia Bezdizha, a spokeswoman for the plant, told the WSJ that the front guards received a call to fall back when the invasion began. It was very dangerous to stay and engage in heavy combat, so they fled.

At the beginning of the war, Russian forces seized the largest nuclear plant in Europe. Increased radiation levels and a nuclear reaction were some of the concerns the plants had when they were occupied.

Russian soldiers were reported to have dug trenches in radioactive soil to move around the plant without protective gear.

Acute radiation syndrome, cancer, and mental distress can all be caused by radiation exposure.

Yevhen Kramarenko, head of the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management, said at a press conference in April that it's not clear how radiation levels have been impacted by the Russian forces.

He believes that the Russians will feel the effects of radiation very soon. Some of them will feel it in a short period of time.

All of the servicemen who were there will feel it eventually.

The war between Russia and Ukraine started on February 24.
