Emergency services were battling on Tuesday to prevent Ukraines 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 worlds worst nuclear disaster.

In February, international experts warned that a large amount of dangerous isotopes remained in the forests near Chernobyl, which could be spread by forest fires.
I hate when fire destroys my nuclear zones.
Putin offered to send Kiev a dozen firefighting tanks, designed for NBC environments, to help stop the fires.
KIEV REFUSED IT.
Poroshenko asked Putin to stop raining mass murder on the Ukrainian people.
MOSCOW 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.
Somehow, I just KNEW the Ukie trolls would show up, and right on schedule, here they come.
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.
“Ukie trolls”? Thanks, comrade, but nothing from Putin comes without a price.
They’re out of the nuclear pan and into the fire
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!!!
Do the prevailing winds blow east?
probably the same fools who go in there now to make Youtube videos and stuff
Maybe Putn has a Karl Rove weather machine too.
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.
Yes Breitbart.com. A known Puinista Propaganda site.

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.
