Russian Forces May Have Removed Captive National Guard Members from Chernobyl

Ukrainian officials have suggested that Russian forces may have removed an unspecified number of captive members of Ukraine's National Guard from the Chernobyl nuclear power station. Energoatom, Ukraine's state nuclear energy company, indicated yesterday that Russian forces had left the plant and were heading towards the border with Belarus. However, this information regarding the removal of National Guard members could not be immediately verified.
Russian Troops Observed in Exclusion Zone

Despite ending their occupation of the Chernobyl plant itself, some Russian troops were reportedly still present in the "exclusion zone" surrounding the nuclear power station this morning. Yevhen Kramarenko, who leads the agency managing the exclusion zone, stated in televised comments today that Russian troops were seen within the zone. He did not specify their activities or potential destinations, but confirmed that no Russian troops were observed on the site of the decommissioned power plant.
Energoatom's Suggestion on Departure Reasons

Energoatom suggested yesterday that the departure of Russian forces from the Chernobyl plant was potentially influenced by concerns over radiation levels in the area. The exclusion zone was established following the 1986 nuclear accident at Chernobyl due to high radiation. The plant's Ukrainian staff continued to oversee the safe storage of spent nuclear fuel and the remains of the exploded reactor while the facility was occupied by Russian forces.
Unverified Information on National Guard Captives

A key point of the report is Energoatom's suggestion that Russian forces took an unspecified number of members of Ukraine's National Guard with them as they departed. These National Guard members had reportedly been held captive since February 24. The circumstances and confirmation of their removal remain unverified at this time.
