It’s quite obvious from looking at a map that the reason the invaders attacked through Chernobyl is because it was on the direct route from their staging bases in Belarus. Of course Ukraine didn’t defend it thinking Putin could no be so crazy as to do that. He is, though.
What’s interesting is the Ukrainians have held up the invaders on the other side of the reservoir above Kyiv. They haven’t even taken the first town, Chernihiv, close to the border. That is stunning to me. Ukrainians are fighting for their land and the invaders have no stomach for this fight.
You honestly don’t need to convince anyone here.
