Russian Aggression In Ukraine - Tumblr Posts
Hi👋
I've never posted about anything that is happening in my country right now, and today I'm gonna fix this. Do you know why? Because the world is on the edge of a nuclear (and not just nuclear) catastrophe :)
I get it some people couldn't care less about the genocide of Ukrainians, but bear with me for a moment. If the power plant blows up, the whole continent will suffer the consequences. And later on, the whole world
Do you remember Chornobyl? Forget it, this one will be much worse. The nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine is the biggest one in Europe, and russians might blow it up any minute. They said, "This land will either be russian, or a scorched desert. Everything is mined, and we don't hide it". It's a miracle nothing had happened yet, since they've been bombing the power plant for the last week (to frame the Ukrainian armed forces).
(Edit: it isn't confirmed that 'everything is mined' but it is still possible, plus the bombing was very real)
First of all, if the NPP blows up, the wind will spread radioactive isotopes and volatile substances everywhere. Then, there's water pollution. The radioactive fuel will enter the underground water and, likely, the Dnipro river. And through that, it'll spread farther, to the seas causing fish to die
Also, the land will be polluted as well, so people won't be able to grow ANYTHING. And y'know, no plants = no aminals (because there's no grain to feed them). Say hi to the food crisis. We'll have to learn how to feed on soil
So, consequences to the ecology? Radioactive clouds, rains, pollution of soil, rivers, seas, and underground water (so a decrease in drinking water). Consequences for people? Economic crises, food, and migration crises. And don't forget about the health consequences! Death due to radiation, outbreaks of cancer infections, increased infant mortality, cardiovascular disease, cataracts, decrease in immunity. It's not only about Ukrainians, but everyone in the world. The radioactive dust from the Chornobyl NPP had flown around the globe a few times. And there was one nuclear reactor that had blown up. The Zaporizhzhia NPP has six. So if it blows up, that'd be fucking terrible for everyone
So, if you care about human lives and/or ecology, please share the info. If you can't donate to the Ukrainian armed forces who are fighting russia right now, share the info. If you don't want to die of radiation (or any of the following crises), share the info. It doesn't matter how many followers you have. If one more person knows about the disaster that might happen, it means we're a little closer to stopping it
Most of the info is from this thread. Please go and read it, it's written better than my post here
