A lost city is now a training ground for Ukrainians hoping to protect their future.
Ukraine has begun conducting urban warfare training drills for national guard, nurses, and other first responders in the wake of a possible attack from Russia. The Ukrainian training is taking place inside the Chernobyl disaster zone.. Pripyat used to be a thriving city of 50,000 residents before the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster forced an evacuation and sealed-off a section of the country for centuries because of the nuclear fallout.
Servicemen take part in a joint tactical and special exercises of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ukrainian National Guard and Ministry Emergency in a ghost city of Pripyat, near Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on February 4, 2022.The abandoned city has buildings, streetscapes, destruction, and a desolate, war-fighting vibe for those who endure training.
This training is happening while Russia has amassed more than 120,000 troops along Ukraine's eastern border while Russia simultaneously conducts routine military exercises with Belarus, which borders on the northwest of Ukraine.
