Not a single building that was not looted by Russians: stories of witnesses of Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant occupation

At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian army occupied the Chornobyl exclusion zone for 36 days and threatened the world with a new nuclear disaster.

Local residents told the Ukrainian Witness project about the events they experienced during the occupation.  

A local huntsman Vasyl told the project about planes entering Ukrainian airspace from Belarus.

"They would launch missiles that would then reach Kyiv. They would immediately turn around and fly back.

This is hell. It's hard to watch it all. We had an agricultural company here. They took everything away. They came in cars, ATVs with machine guns. They pulled out and took away everything they could. It's like a plague," the man emphasised.

He recalls that the occupiers were looking for ATO participants [The ATO or Anti-Terrorist Operation is a term used from 2014 to 2018 by the media, the government of Ukraine and the OSCE to identify combat actions in parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts against Russian military forces and pro-Russian separatists – ed.]. They were forcing men to undress and looked for tattoos.

A local resident said that the occupiers' heavy equipment drove by her house for 15 hours.

"They just drove in on an armoured vehicle like thieves and took everything from the store in 15 minutes: candy, feminine hygiene products. Three people were shot in the back from the village, and a 14-year-old boy was among the victims," the woman says.
