On December 14, Ukraine commemorates fire fighters and other emergency employees who eliminated the consequences of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster.
After the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the evacuation of people began. By the end of the summer of 1986, more than 90,000 people were evacuated. The then Soviet authorities promised that the evacuation would be temporary, but almost 10,000 people left their homes forever.
Almost 600,000 people took part in the elimination of the consequences of the accident. More than 1,000 people who worked in the first days after the explosion received the maximum level of radiation.
In the first months after the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, 31 people died from acute radiation sickness, and approximately 165,000 people got disabled.
The statement says that the mistakes of the Soviet authorities led to the millions of broken lives and Russia continues to terrorize Ukraine now.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
