Soon after Russian troops invaded Ukraine in February 2022, sensors in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone reported radiation spikes. A researcher now believes he’s found evidence the data was manipulated.
The staff did a bit of play to make the soldiers worried about digging too much.
But hacking the sensors? Russia knew the radiation spikes were false, had the motive, and that they took the servers with them when they left also leaves them looking particularly guilty.
Sooo… who benefits from the manipulation of the data? Ukraine because it makes Russia look bad? Is it that simple?

The argument seems to be that the staff let the soldiers think there was radiation so they didn’t go around breaking shit and would want to leave.
