BREITBART ^ | 29 Apr 2015

Emergency services were battling on Tuesday to prevent Ukraine’s largest forest fire since 1992 from spreading towards the abandoned Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said.

Earlier, the interior ministry had warned that high winds were blowing the fire in northern Ukraine towards Chernobyl, where in 1986 a reactor fire led to the world’s worst nuclear disaster.

Putin offered to send Kiev a dozen firefighting tanks, designed for NBC environments, to help stop the fires.

KIEV REFUSED IT.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the reactor itself because that’s encased in concrete. Residual radiation in the vegetation and old wood buildings would be the bigger concern.

Russian emergency ministry “employees” have already unlawfully entered Ukraine in the East. Naturally, they are not wanted elsewhere in the country.

Yeah, much better to let Ukrainians die of Radiation poisoning, than accept EFFECTIVE help, right?

Less useless eaters for the Oligarch’s to worry about.

The prophets of old told all of us that "God will provide!" The Dead Sea is massive evidence that He couldn't even find 10 non-preverts in all of Sodom and Gamorah, so "Fire and Brimstone" cleansed all the pollution and preversion!!!

The "Lake of Fire" is a comin!!! The Supremes better think about alla this preversion of the marriage of the first two and nearly all subsequent humans on planet Erf!!!

Putinist pot stirring hysteria here. Latest reports are the fire under control.

Interestingly, Russia Today was first on the spot reporting on this. I don’t recall a similar response to the massive fires in Russia recently. Hmmmm.

Your concern for the welfare of the Ukraine people in this case is duly noted and appreciated. It’s unfortunately you don’t feel the same for the 85 kids blow out of the sky with a Russian missile on MH17. Or the carpet bombing of Ukrainian cities by Russian rocket artillery. Is that “effective help” from Moscow also?

6,000 dead since Russians arrived in Ukraine and started their murder. Keep licking KGB filth boots if you chose, FRiend.
