Nuclear winter

Pripyat and the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant registered higher than expected levels of radiation following the Russian attack of February 24. 

This was reported by Ukraine's nuclear agency and interior ministry, according to Reuters, and is due to the presence of a significant military contingency lifting radioactive dust from the soil into the air. The level of radioactivity was not revealed.

"Radiation starts to increase. It is not critical for Kyiv for the time being, but we are monitoring," the interior ministry said.
