A touching tribute
Relatives, friends and others lay flowers in memory of the dead to the monument for Chernobyl victims on April 26, 2023 in Kyiv, Ukraine. On April 26, 1986 a reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, northwest of Kyiv, exploded after a safety test went wrong, spreading radiation over thousands of square kilometers. Last year's invasion of Ukraine by Russia, who seized Chernobyl early in their campaign before retreating from the area, has created new hazards for the country's nuclear facilities.
