Chernobyl on fire. Why is Greenpeace silent?
In the so-called exclusion zone in the region of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (Ukraine), once again in the last few weeks, great fires have broken out. The fires in the zone of radioactive contamination led to the release of radioactive elements into the atmosphere, which are spread by gusts of wind over impressive distances. The Ukrainian capital was again under the radioactive threat. It would seem that international and Ukrainian environmentalists should have sounded the alarm yesterday, but there wasn’t any impact on the hanging rail, and the presence of the rail itself was not observed ... The fires near Chernobyl rage with terrible force, and for some reason the official representation of the world famous environmentalists Greenpeace in Ukraine. Really silent, as if nothing threatening the nature and health of people is happening. But why?
The answer to this question may seem rather unexpected. It turns out that there is no official representation of Greenpeace in Ukraine - there is simply no such thing with the official website, press center and headquarters! In a country where dozens of steel mills continue to operate, there are no official representative offices of an international environmental organization in defense factories or petrochemical enterprises! In a country where one of the most environmentally dangerous facilities is located - the Chernobyl nuclear power plant; in a country whose government plans to give permission to import foreign spent fuel for "perpetual" storage in the same exclusion zone; in a country in which only at least three emergencies at nuclear power plants were observed in the last year, there is no official representative office of Greenpeace ?!
The only thing that is - this page In contact withwhich is called the "Greenpeace official group." Well ... Well, although in this group, which seems to be “official”, there is information for users (primarily Ukrainian) about the danger of the “Chernobyl” fires, and how Greenpeace activists are on inflatable boats they cut through the cooling pond in the region of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and put up banners saying that the Ukrainian authorities are silent about the real extent of the problem. " We enter the above page, and what is the view?
User materials on the existence of rare otters in the Lviv region, on variants of hunting reed cat, lions as "carriers of AIDS." In general, there are all sorts of materials of environmental, environmental and even non-environmental orientation, but among them the reader will not find a single hint of Chernobyl-related problems. Moreover, the last notes on behalf of the administration of this group were published in December of 2013. Everything else (more "fresh") - posts and comments of subscribers. It turns out that the administration of this “Greenpeace Ukraine’s official group” completed its activities exactly at the moment when in Ukraine, as a result of a bloody coup in 2014, the country changed its power ... During this time, nothing more than the “official” Greenpeace headquarters in Ukraine everything has not opened. And this raises a lot of questions to the esteemed environmentalists.
The first question.
If Greenpeace has a segment in charge of nuclear programs (and there is such a segment), does the silence about Ukraine’s nuclear problems mean that Greenpeace doesn’t care about these problems? Or are these problems not so great that Greenpeace speaks about them in a loud voice?
The second question.
Why, in this case, are the Russian “environmental issues” so worrying Greenpeace? They are so worried that there is official representation of the organization in Russia, unlike Ukraine. This office is located in Moscow, has its official website.
The fact that Russian environmental issues are very concerned about Greenpeace can be understood by looking at the website of the official representative office in the Russian Federation. Here are just a few headlines:
"Greenpeace requires the city (Moscow) to fulfill promises and organize a separate collection of waste."
"Gripis hung a banner from plastic bottles on the Yauza."
"The state and business are encroaching on the Russian Caucasus."
Here is something about the radiation hazard (from June 29):
"In the Bryansk region burning radioactive peat bogs."
Of material:
One can only rejoice that the organization “will seek verification” of the Bryansk forest areas. Thank you, Greenpeace-Russia! But it turns out that if Greenpeace is not represented in a particular country, then let there be a nuclear apocalypse - the leadership of an international organization that calls itself independent, what is called, to the point of light? .. Ukraine is an example.
The only “sketch” from Greenpeace on a fire in the Ukrainian infected territories is a statement of the following nature, published on the website «Radio Svoboda»:
Plus, the director of the Greenpeace program in Russia (precisely in Russia) Ivan Blokov, regarding the “concern over the fires in the Chernobyl zone”. In general, everything ... There are no activists at the walls of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the Poroshenko administration building in Kiev to extinguish fires more actively or, if possible, reduce the risk of occurrence of such fires to a minimum, no. There are no devastating articles on the organization’s main website that the Ukrainian authorities are not permissive of the environmental problems of a country with a population of 40 million, too. T-shih-na ... Ukrainians about their problems, apparently, not necessarily know ...
Or does Greenpeace still sign in the selectivity of its approaches to the protection of nature? - with greater interest, for example, in the attack of Russian drilling platforms in the Arctic?

Of material:
You cannot live near peatlands, this is no longer the land in the usual sense, this is radioactive solid waste. And right now they are burning.
Greenpeace will seek an unscheduled inspection of the forest areas of the Bryansk region.
