The liberation of Kyiv Oblast put an end to Russian vandalism in an extremely important and dangerous territory.

Ukrainian specialists immediately started working there, getting rid of the devastating traces of the "Russian peace" and their efforts are already visible.

Crushed objects are working again and are in working condition, says TSN. 

In Chernobyl, stories are still told about what Russian soldiers did in the laboratory of the exclusion zone during the occupation in February-March 22.

"The already diluted radioactive solutions, I don't know if they broke them up or drank them, but I tell you, it's terrible.

Everything was crushed, all devices... The processor was pulled out, the RAM.

And right away, special calculation programs were installed on these system units," says Serhii Kireev, general director of the Ecocenter DSP.

"Everything was dragged, stolen, our phones were taken away, they went to our houses three or four times a day and put us on our knees... Get on your knees, ``raise the bed, open the wardrobe,'' they looked around, they were looking for "Right Sector," the employee says. Love.

The only thing they couldn't reach was the Ukrainian flag on the telecommunications tower.

"They were afraid to shoot him because he was climbing, from the words of those who heard and saw that they shot at him, but did not shoot him.

And he sagged throughout the occupation," the workers say.

They are still recovering from what happened here, the Russians destroyed the entire infrastructure.

The state's total losses from their atrocities exceed two and a half billion hryvnias, and these are approximate calculations. 

Red forest with dug trenches and dugouts.

As experts say, Pripyat has become much more cluttered without stalkers and tourists.

Only the facade is allowed to be filmed at the station itself, however attendants from the State Agency for the Management of the Exclusion Zone assured that all services are working there as usual.

Until February 24, 2022, the slogan of this world-famous area around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was "Zone of exclusion - zone of revival."

But with their barbaric invasion, the Russian invaders crossed out the path to life, and after the deoccupation, our status quo is being revived.

Due to Russian vandalism, for some time neither Ukraine nor the IAEA received the necessary indicators of the level of radiation safety in the exclusion zone.

The temporary loss of control over this facility jeopardized international environmental security as a whole.

"When they came here, the system worked.

Then, when they started robbing here, broke the server, broke the Internet, the connection disappeared, the system itself, the sensors worked, but the information that came from the sensor, it comes through radio communication, it did not work,” reports the General Director of the DSP "Ecocenter" Serhii Kireev. 

However, this important strategic unit quickly resumed work after the deoccupation.

The state and international colleagues helped.

"The guys began to put everything in order little by little.

May - they already started measuring everything... Now we have restored almost everything, because this information, it is transferred to the IAEA, is transferred to the state inspectorate for nuclear regulation, that is, such a state-wide system works", - says the employee.

"Now the radiation state is the same as it was before the start of hostilities.

The fact that they were here and that they were gone did not change the state of radiation," says the director. 

Other areas of the exclusion zone have already returned to normal operation.

"Our enterprise deals with the full cycle of radioactive waste management, i.e. processing, disposal, reception.

When we came here in April, the entire heating system was defrosted, because it was winter, everything was not working, all the pipes were burst.

Everything has been restored," says Maksym Roslavets, head of the production and technical department of the exclusion zone. 

The vehicle fleet of the zone is completely crushed, and what is now driving and working was collected from what survived after the vandals from behind the "barrier".

The favorite place of many tourists is currently out of reach for them.

The restoration of the administration building of the "Ecocenter", which was destroyed by shelling, is currently not on time.

So, they say here, the tourism industry is on hiatus until the end of the war.

"Maps were made that our visitors could use to move around, but when the full-scale invasion began, unfortunately, because of these orcs, visits are now stopped, because it is dangerous for life in the first place, because when they were here, there was a lot of mined territory", - they say in the press service. 

More than one hundred registered self-settlers still live in the exclusion zone, and the occupiers did not leave them alone.

Yevhen Markevich, an 85-year-old native of Chernobyl, is troubled by rhetorical questions.

"What have they achieved... Why did all this trouble begin?

They got nothing.

They will not get it, nor will it be better for them, their families, or the people.

And people have a lot of sores.

You see the corpses, corpses, corpses, corpses, they are beaten and beaten," says the woman. 

We will remind that the invasion of Russian troops led to the loss of control over this object and endangered the international environmental security as a whole.

Twice, on March 9 and 14, 2022, due to the actions of the occupiers, the Chornobyl NPP was de-energized.

All this time, all the facilities of the Chernobyl NPP were connected to emergency diesel generators.
