"Russian troops 'unauthorizedly entered a repository of ionizing radiation sources' and 'stole and damaged 133 sources with a total activity of about 7 million becquerels, [which] is comparable to 700 kg of radioactive waste with the presence of beta and gamma radiation.'"

Knowledge of danger fades. Fences fall down. Sign symbols are unrecognized. Wind blows. Water flows.

These soldiers will not be the last.

when the Chernobyl reactor exploded in 1986.

Many probably didn't have any idea what they were getting into. Russia isn't a country that talks about its failures, especially a catastrophic failure like Chernobyl.

They'll pay for their government's stupidity with their lives, but that's nothing new for government of Russia. They dispatch the lives of it's people with no more care than a child blowing on a dandelion.
