Important updates related to Ukraine-Russia war...

Why try to capture Chernobyl
Chernobyl Atomic Power Plant. There was a blast here in 1986. The effect of its radiation is still seen on the wildlife here. Although this plant is closed, but till now atomic waste (nuclear waste) is present. If there is an attack here, then radiation can spread and the danger is that those who will be saved from bombs and missiles will not be able to escape from radiation. This is the reason that the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has warned the world how dangerous Russia's intentions are. Fighting was going on in this area till Thursday night.
What Russia's Defense Ministry Said Said- 74 military bases of Ukraine were destroyed in the air strikes. These include 11 airfields, three command centres, one navy post, 18 S-300 radars and Buk air defense systems. An attack helicopter and four strike drones were also shot down.
Memes between the battles
Amidst Russia's attack, a cartoon of Putin and Hitler has been tweeted from the official Twitter handle of Ukraine. In this, Hitler is smiling looking at Putin and placing his hand on his cheek. This action of Ukraine is being opposed on social media. Most people say that this is not the time to taunt politically. The war has started and at least now seriousness should be shown.
