Key Points: 
  • While both Ukraine and Russia deny responsibility for the drone attack, it’s clear that Russia’s ongoing invasion has put the site at active risk.
  • Radioactive pollution from nuclear reactors
    Ukraine is a country with hundreds of industrial facilities across various sectors.
  • Pollution from other sites
    Aside from nuclear reactors, Ukraine hosts other sites that pose a radiation risk if sabotaged or mishandled.
  • There is a real risk that this water may allow radioactive pollution to spread across a wide area.
