The country launched an invasion by land, air and sea on Thursday, February 24, 2022, following a declaration of war by President Vladimir Putin.It has been reported that the infamous "Chernobyl power plant" has already been taken over by Russian troops. The plant is known for its reactor explosion in 1986 which released massive amounts of radiation into the environment.According to Anton Herashchenko, a Ukrainian interior ministry adviser, any attack on the nuclear waste storage facility could result in a radioactive burst, which would cover Ukraine, Belarus and European Union countries.As the conflict continues, many other fake videos have been popping up on the internet. Similar to the Russian paratroopers' video, footage of an explosion has shown up on various social media platforms but was later found to be from the Tianjin explosion in 2015.
