Russia is shelling uranium storage facilities in the Kharkiv region: a threat of ecocide and accusations against officers.

According to inkorr.com: Russian invaders continue their aggression against the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology. Constant shelling of the building, explosions, and power outages have become a daily reality for scientists. These attacks have put the institute at risk of a radioactive catastrophe, prompting Ukrainian prosecutors to even label it as 'ecocide.'

It is noted that five Russian officers have been charged with targeted attacks on the institute. A direct hit could lead to massive radioactive contamination. Ukrainian prosecutors classified this as 'ecocide.'

Problems with Radiation Safety

Scientists are trying to cope with the consequences of these attacks. The explosions have negatively affected the operation of the control room, and the 'Neutron Source' device has suffered serious damage, causing its operation to halt for a long time. However, the scientists do not give up — they continue to work to prevent a radiation disaster and are actively conducting research in the field of nuclear energy, despite constant threats.

This situation highlights the complex challenges faced by the scientific community in Ukraine under wartime conditions. Despite all difficulties, scientists remain committed to their work, striving to minimize risks and develop new technologies that can contribute to energy security and scientific progress in the country.
