Several hundred Russian soldiers were forced to leave the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after they were exposed to radiation.

The troops who dug trenches near the site of the worst nuclear disaster in history are currently being treated in a special medical facility in Gomel. The forest was named after thousands of pine trees that turned red during the 1986 nuclear disaster. Chernobyl workers are not allowed to enter the zone because it is so toxic.

The Russian soldiers panicked and fled, according to the Ukrainian agency in charge of the country's nuclear power stations.

The occupier of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and other facilities in the Exclusion Zone set off in two columns towards the Ukrainian border. The agency said in a statement on Telegram that a small number of Russians still remain at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after the occupiers announced their intentions to leave this morning.

The most polluted area in the entire exclusion zone is the Red Forest.

The occupiers received a lot of radiation and panicked at the first sign of illness. It showed up very quickly.

Local reports say that seven buses with troops arrived in Gomel early Thursday. Journalists on the ground have reported that ghost buses were used to transport dead soldiers to Russia.

Russian forces began withdrawing from the site. Russia said the withdrawal from Chernobyl was part of a plan to scale back the invasion. The troops were irradiated from the contaminated soil, according to Ukrainian media.

Yaroslav Yemelianenko, who works for the Public Council at the State Agency of Ukraine for Exclusion Zone, was brought to the Belarusian Radiation Medicine Center in Gomel today.

On the first day of the invasion, the Chernobyl facility fell to Russian control. Workers were on duty for more than 600 hours before being allowed a shift change. Russian troops kicked up radioactive dust without protective equipment when they moved heavy military hardware through the area. There was concern about environmentalContamination due to the forest fires in the area.
