thewayneGuess what! They're developing severe radiation sickness and related problems!
This obviously comes as no surprise to a lot of people. Russet and I were discussing it. Chernobyl popped its top - literally! - THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS AGO! People under 30, meaning most of the people in the invading Russian Army and probably their direct commanders, weren't alive back then! And with Russian news suppression, it's probably not well-known among them. I can understand them not taking it seriously, whereas a 50 y/o might actually remember it happening and know that digging there is bad juju.
This is yet another major thing to be laid at the feet of Putin and his lackies. A lot of these people are going to die in pretty horrible ways, and it didn't need to happen.
