Ukraine & Nukes, Greenpeace map

Posted: 8th April 2022

The invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin’s military poses an unprecedented nuclear threat, with the country’s 15 commercial nuclear reactors at risk of potentially catastrophic damage. An attack or even an accident at any of these plants could render vast areas of the European continent, including Russia, uninhabitable for decades. This interactive, regularly updating map displays the locations of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants as well as their proximity to Russian military forces at fixed time intervals since Russian forces entered Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Using publicly-sourced information to track the movement of Russian military forces, the map makes clear the vulnerabilities to Ukraine’s nuclear plants as a consequence of the Kremlin’s illegal invasion.

Created with data from the Institute for the Study of War and the Centre for Information Resilience among others, and displaying the proximity of Russian troops and military hardware to each ofUkraine’s 15 commercial nuclear reactors over time, the interactive map provides a chilling interactive visualisation of the potential for nuclear catastrophe at regular intervals since the bloody invasion began on February 24.
