More than 1500 people have already been evacuated, including more than 600 minors. A total of at least 18 cities and settlements are affected by the partial evacuation, including the city of Enerhodar.
In addition to the evacuation of the population, Russia is also to erect anti-tank barriers in the area and mine the area. There are "currently no indications of increased radiation levels, neither in Ukraine nor in Germany," says a spokesman for the Federal Environment Ministry. Germany does not expect that disaster control measures would be necessary in the event of radioactive fallout in Germany.
