Slavutych, Chernobyl refugee town, becomes haven for Ukrainians fleeing war
Originally built as a Soviet-era settlement for Chernobyl evacuees, Slavutych is again offering shelter — this time to people fleeing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Slavutych was built as a Soviet 'paradise' to house refugees from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It is now being reborn as a haven for people escaping Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
