Eyewitnesses told how the Russian military took away everything they could pick up - refrigerators, chairs and even carpets. The main task of the invaders in the first days of the invasion was to search for participants of the ATO, says the hunter of the Chernobyl Biosphere Reserve Vasyl Davydenko. It has been working in the exclusion zone for 25 years. According to him, in the first days of the Great War, the Russians behaved as real bandits.

"On cars, quad bikes, with machine guns and machine guns - and went to the villages. At first they felt free here, then they began to throw the heat and stopped it all. Even the children knew where the tank was shooting, where BMP, where the rocket launched" He remembered. The military equipment of the Russian army was moving near the house of one village for about 15 hours. "We have a house near the road, and this hum was strong. Three were shot from our village right on the road," she recalls.

According to the woman, Russian soldiers exported cars and agricultural machinery to Ukrainians. Volodymyr Ischuk, the working shop of repair equipment, says that there is no building in Chernobyl where the occupiers would not come. Everything was robbed - the shovels were taken out for the snow, and road signs disappeared from the roads. "The radiation technique, the" dirty "KrAZs on which the cabin was inserted, and they took with them," he said.

The Deputy Head of the State Agency of Ukraine for Exclusion Zone Maxim Shevchuk noted that the building of the department was looted during the occupation, and the main entrance was not tested for the presence of mines. The leading engineer of the Chernobyl Physical Protection Service Valery Semenov remembered how the first tank of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation saw and how the military broke the means of access.

During the occupation, they dug the soil with their bare hands and inhaled dust.
