New postcard from UKRAINE!!!





Curiosity about Ukraine:
  • In 1986, there was the explosion of a nuclear reactor in Chernobyl, Ukraine, still part of the former Soviet Union.
    The explosion, detonated a 2,000-ton lid off the reactor, sent 400 times more radioactive fallout than the Hiroshima bomb, contaminating around 200,000 square kilometers of Europe.
      Around 600,000 people were exposed to high doses of radiation, and more than 350 000 people had to be evacuated from contaminated areas.


Best Wishes!
